CONGREGATION MICAH TO FEATURE "SISTERS AT SINAI," WOMEN'S TORAH STUDY GROUP
"Sisters at Sinai" (SAS), Congregation Micah's Torah study group for women of all ages, will take place Tuesday, September 1 from 10-11 a.m., with sessions each Tuesday thereafter.
Led by Congregation Micah's Rabbi Laurie Rice, these lively and engaging gatherings examine the Torah reading of the week from a female perspective. "While Torah study is a life-enhancing pursuit for men and women, SAS is dedicated to evoking a uniquely female response to the text," said Rabbi Laurie.
In these highly participative sessions, interpretations of the Torah portion range from the literal to viewing the text in the context of the times, possibly different eras, in which it was written. The emphasis is on applying the week's reading to contemporary life.
Free and open to all women in the community, classes require no previous knowledge of Torah and are suitable for both the beginner and advanced student. Each class stands on its own, so regular attendance, while encouraged, is not required.
