Prepare to lead your family’s Passover seder! Join Cantor Kleinman for an exploration of the magid section of the Passover Haggadah (the section retelling the story of the Exodus from Egypt). Using classical rabbinic commentaries, we’ll delve into the history and interpretation of some of the Haggdah’s most well-known passages, such as The Four Questions, The Four Children, and the famous story of the five rabbis who stayed up all night retelling the story of the Exodus.
Thursdays, April 9 – May 21, 2026, 10:15 – 11:45 AM (on zoom)
Join Rabbi Blake’s popular weekly Talmud Shiur (class) where a community coalesces around deep learning and conversation. Our study for the 7-week Omer period between Pesach and Shavuot will explore “Treasures of Talmud,” a collection of literary, ethical, and practical gems of learning that are among Rabbi Blake’s personal favorite teachings from Talmud and related Jewish tradition. No previous experience with Talmud required – join us!

Are you curious about meditation? Are you wondering how meditation connects to Judaism? Believe it or not, meditation has been utilized by Jews for centuries, benefiting our ancestors (and us!) in mind, body, and spirit. Meditation can enhance calm, clarity, and creativity. You can try it yourself!
Come join Norm Goldstein on Friday mornings to explore meditation and the ways in which Jewish life can inform this practice. Beginners (and more experienced meditators) are warmly welcome!
Each season, new and special classes, lectures, and events are led by our clergy and guest teachers on a variety of topics. Please check our quarterly bulletin (via the button at the bottom of our homepage) to see the exciting programs offered this season!
