A Word on Torah Study from Rabbi Ross
There are two sources of truth in Judaism, the truth of the Torah and the truth of personal experience. In Torah Study, we bring these two truths together -- combined with the teachings of the Rabbis -- to determine the path of personal belief and life. 
 
You don't need to be able to read Hebrew for Torah Study, and no prior experience is required.  I like to think of Torah Study as a conversation among the spiritually curious. Each Torah Study session will begin with a reading and discussion of a selection from the weekly Torah portion. Next, we'll consider insights from any number of Jewish sources -- such as the URJ Torah Commentary,  The Book of Legends (Bialik and Ravnitzky),  Torah Commentary of Our Time (Fields), Biblical Women Speak (Feldman) -- to deepen and widen our discussion. Above all, we make sure to include all voices around the table, as people wish to speak. 
 
We will be offering Torah Study from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Saturdays, July 8, 15 and 22, and August 12, 19 and 26, at CMI, with Zoom access available.
