Living Room Limud

Though we love meeting and learning in Temple Sinai, we recognize that enriching Jewish learning could and should happen anywhere. Welcome to Living Room Limud, one of our signature events of the year. Interested in hosting your friends and acquaintances for learning in your living room? Have you ever wanted to discuss a certain idea with your clergy and fellow congregants? Let us know! We will plan two of these per month on Wednesday afternoons or evenings.

Hebrew in the House

Join Rabbi Natan for Hebrew at your own pace, some unstructured time focusing on one of the building blocks of the Jewish People: the Hebrew language. This is NOT a class, rather it is open study time for self-motivated learners who have questions or simply want to review or gain greater insights into various Hebrew passages.
