Men's Torah Study

every Thursday, 7:00 p.m.

Learner's Minyan

Learners Minyan will begin at 9:30 AM on the fourth Saturday of each month and replaces the old Shabbat Kal. We have a new format so people can learn not only the prayers but why those particular prayers are said and why we sit and stand and bow. We will gain familiarity with the musical modes. For those who wish, a chance to lead as well as study with people who want to learn why and how we pray.
Led by CBT members, these discussions have probed various elements of religious observance and practice. They have enhanced our knowledge of Judaism and have been provided in a manner that allows attendees to participate at whatever level they’re comfortable with.
See SERVICES for additional information.
