This year we will be sharing the teachings of A.J. Heschel in his recently translated masterpiece: Heavenly Torah. Be prepared for a far-ranging exploration on the how to understand God from traditional and non-traditional points of view.

What is Torah? On the night of the Giving of the Torah, we will ask the central question of Judaism. Using selections from Heschel's recently translated work, Heavenly Torah, we will explore the opinions in Jewish tradition about what Torah is. Ultimately, we have to answer for ourselves about what Torah means for us as modern Jews. Does it speak to us, command us, guide us? Come prepared to learn, discuss, and come away with new insights.
