Take a break from the craziness of the week (and the city) and join Rabbi Levy for a Shabbat morning hike! We will explore some of the great natural settings around the LA area while creating spaces for quiet reflection and a bit of text study. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned hiker, all are welcome.
This week, we'll return to where it all started, Franklin Canyon! Rabbi Levy will guide us on a Passover-themed text study as we enjoy the reservoir and lovely scenery.
Join Rabbi Levy for the final installment of his series of adult education classes focusing on the five megillot (scrolls) Jews read over the course of the holiday calendar. This series will conclude with a class focusing on the Song of Songs (Shir HaShirim), the Bible's preeminent book of love poetry, which is traditionally read during the days of Passover. We'll explore the vivid imagery and sensual language of the Song of Songs, and the ways that our ancient ancestors grappled with this intimate and very human element of our sacred tradition.
Wednesday, April 12, 2023 8:30 AM Passover Yizkor on the last day of Pesach will be hosted by Kol Ami here in our sanctuary. Members of Temple Israel of Hollywood will join us as is our long standing custom!
A Monthly Morning Torah Study. Join our monthly Torah study group exploring the weekly portions alongside the traditional Haftarah readings, the prophetic passages that pair with our annual cycle of sacred study. Join us to learn, connect, and engage with the words of our Hebrew prophets alongside Torah itself! No experience required.
