There are several opportunities to study Torah at Community Synagogue of Rye
Saturday Torah Study Service
Saturday Torah Study Service at 8:45 am*
Each week, our congregation meets to worship, to read Torah and to discuss the weekly Torah portion. In an interactive format we learn interpretations offered by our sages and share our own insights. Through this enriching dialogue, we come to learn what the Torah can teach us and to reflect on ways that the text touches upon our lives today. Rabbi Daniel Gropper, Rabbi Leora Frankel, Cantor Melanie Cooperman or volunteer lay people lead the service and discussion. A light Kiddush is sponsored each week by congregants following the Torah study service.
(*9 am Summer Hours between Saturday, June 27 and Labor Day Weekend)

Using the humane, ethically responsible, spiritually sensitive and inspiring Social Justice Commentary of Pirke Avot written by Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz, we will explore how we might become better people even as we repair a broken world.
As Ruth Messenger writes about it, “The author makes it clear that we must care about and pay keen attention,first, to knowing ourselves and, then, to developing our relationships with others and with God, because these are essential to our being able to make a difference in the world.” Click below to watch the trailer for the book.
