Weekly Torah Study (Fridays at noon, on Zoom)
West End Synagogue’s weekly Torah Study currently takes place every Friday, on Zoom only, from noon to 1 pm.  At this session we study the parasha for the week.  These sessions are led by our Rabbi, as well as by other lay leaders.  We seek to discover points of resonance between our lives and the Torah narrative, and lessons that might guide us in our daily lives and inform our efforts to repair the world. All are welcome, and no prior knowledge is required. Use the regular WES link to attend.  Please admin [at] westendsynagogue.org (Interest-in-Torah-Study) (contact us) for access. 

Sign up for our West End Synagogue Torah Study Google Group.

A second Torah study session takes place on Sundays from 11:00 am - 12:30pm, also on Zoom. This Torah study session both discusses questions left over from Friday’s Torah study, and is also currently reading from other parts of the Tanakh.  This Sunday session is lay-led, and the same Zoom link is used..  Contact the admin [at] westendsynagogue.org (office) if you need information on how to join us virtually.

HaMatmid Shabbat Afternoon Bible Study
We study a broad range of topics, which have included the structure and prayers of services, the Jewish holiday cycle, and how a Torah scroll is created. We've held workshops to help people get more out of the High Holy Days. Some people have studied with us for years; others drop when they can. Next we'll look at... what? Tell us what you've always wanted to know more about! Contact the admin [at] westendsynagogue.org (office) for Zoom link.
