“Great is Torah study, for it leads to righteous action.”
–Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Kiddushin 40b
Jewish study is a lifelong pursuit. At Congregation Beth El, we encourage adult learning and discussion. Our Rabbi offers regular learning opportunities throughout the year, both during the week and during Shabbat. In addition to these regular learning opportunities, we strive to offer speakers and programming that stimulate our intellectual curiosity.
Monthly Torah Study: during Shabbat morning services, followed by Kiddush lunch. See the CBE calendar for specific dates. All are welcome to come and participate!
Exploring the Siddur: This is Rabbi Paskind’s new Shabbat learning class. Before services at 9:15 am, join Rabbi Paskind for a special session that focusses soley on the Siddur.
Pop Up Rabbi: Back by popular demand! Meet Rabbi Paskind at Aroma Cafe in Norwalk, Wednesdays at 10:00 am. There is no agenda, no set topics. Whatever everyone wants to chat about is what the discussion is centered around.
