Jewish Learning

“It took God only six days to create Heaven and Earth, but it took forty days and forty nights to reveal the Torah.”
(Exodus Rabbah 47:5)

Learning is extremely important to the Jewish people. Rabbi Ben Bagbag teaches us to “Turn it and turn it…for everything is in it,” in reference to learning Torah (Pirkei Avot). The Talmud teaches that “a person who studies alone is no match for one who studies with a teacher” (Ketubbot 111a). From our liturgy we know that “[Torah] is a tree of life for those who hold it fast, and all who cling to it find happiness” (Proverbs 3:18).

There are countless references to the value of Jewish learning in our Jewish texts. At Temple Sinai, our commitment to Jewish education is clear in our fabulous Early Childhood Center (Gan Sinai) and Religious School (JPAL). We continue to teach our youth through our SNFTY program. But what about adults?

Here at Temple Sinai, there are many wonderful opportunities to study together, learning topics Jewish and secular, traditional and modern. All are welcome to our lifelong learning programs. The more minds there are around the table, the more exciting our learning experiences are.

If you would like to know anything about our Lifelong Learning program, or if you would like to offer an idea—something you are interested in learning—feel free to contact Rabbi Litwak.
