Saturdays at 9:15 am - Conference Room A
Torah study at Temple Sinai takes an unusual approach: we review a verse as slowly or as fast as we choose, then go on to the next. We read from different English translations and consult a variety of commentaries. There is plenty of room for comments and questions from participants. Our group truly enjoys our weekly meetings and appreciates the different approaches of our rabbi and cantor, who alternate leading the study sessions. We welcome you to our Torah study, whether you wish to participate in lively discussions, read the current passage aloud, or simply listen.
Many different Torahs are available, coffee is plentiful, and we finish in time for the morning Shabbat service, which begins at 10:30.
For more information, email Cantor Braun.
Sundays at 9:30 am
This journey connects themes from the weekly parsha (Torah portion), Jewish holidays, and other current affairs to modern life.

This class is for adults with little or no Hebrew background who want to learn to read and speak the language. We’ll focus on the Hebrew alphabet, basic vocabulary, and simple conversation, with an introduction to key prayers and phrases used in Jewish life. No prior experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to learn! (Due to the type of learning, this class is available in person only. There is no Zoom option.)
Curious about Judaism? Exploring conversion, reconnecting with tradition, or simply seeking deeper understanding? Judaism 101 is an inclusive, welcoming 15-session course open to all—whether you’re Jewish, part of an interfaith family, considering becoming Jewish, or just exploring. Together we’ll dive into the foundations of Jewish life, holidays, values, texts, and practices in a warm, open-minded setting. No prior knowledge required—just curiosity and a willingness to ask big questions.
