KS Torah Conversations is an ongoing conversation group that meets each Shabbat morning. We welcome you to join us!
No prior knowledge of Torah or Hebrew is required to participate, although attendees are asked to read the week’s parasha (Torah portion). Most participants read English translations. The parasha can be read online at Sefaria as well as other sources, and accessed easily via the Hebcal calendar app.
As a guide for discussion, along with reading the parasha, the group chooses one collection of weekly commentaries. For the current year, 5785, it will be Rabbi Jonathan Sacks Commentary. Some participants also enjoy reading from a wide range of other commentaries, many of which are on our resource list. Torah Conversations members take turns facilitating the discussion. The conversations typically flow back and forth between trying to understand the embedded meaning of the weekly parasha and connecting it to questions that have relevance in our lives. Each person’s voice is welcomed.
LOGISTICS:
- The group meets each Shabbat morning, with rare exceptions, as long as two or more of us are available to meet.
- Currently, we meet on Zoom except for the last Saturday of the month when we meet in-person in the KS Library (with the exception of some holidays).
- NOTE: The in-person meeting schedule may be revised occasionally, so check the website calendar for the most up-to-date meeting format.
- Conversations about the week’s parasha begin promptly at 8:45 am and end at 9:45 pm. For general conversation, the Zoom room is opened at about 8:35 am, and the Library at about 8:30 am.
