Saturday Morning Torah Study
Join Congregation Etz Chaim’s Morning Torah Study every second Saturday of the month from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Led by members of the congregation’s Ritual Committee, the study focuses on the week’s Torah portion (parshat) and Haftorah.
One need not be able to read Hebrew in order to participate. It is helpful to have a Chumash (Bible), though it is not necessary.
