There are several opportunities to study Torah at Community Synagogue of Rye
Saturday Torah Study Service
Saturday Torah Study Service at 8:45 am* (*9 am Summer Hours between Saturday, June 27 and Labor Day Weekend)
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.

Talmud with Training Wheels
|
The Talmud is one of the foundational texts of Judaism. However, many of us may not feel like experts when it comes to this vital canon. In fact, it can be said that more than we are biblical Jews, we are rabbinic Jews following the laws and guidelines set out in the Talmud. Together we will explore the history and structure of the Talmud and rabbinic thought as well as the rabbis' profound insights into human nature. No prior experience required!

Re-Soul for ShabbatUsing meditation practices, mindfulness skills and some simple Mussar texts, we will sit, mostly in silence and contemplation to wind down from the week and lift us into Shabbat. Please join Rabbi Gropper from 6:00 pm to 6:20 pm to welcome in the spirit of Shabbat.
Resoul for Shabbat will be on hiatus while Rabbi Gropper is on his Sabbatical. You are then invited to remain for regular Shabbat worship at 6:30 pm. For more information, or to RSVP please email Jon Rekedal |
