Loving Our Own Bones Book Study

in

Taught by: Rabbi Holzman
Tuesdays, December 2, December 16, January 6, January 20, February 3, February 24
7:00-8:30pm, in person and online

One of the most important aspects of Jewish life is how we approach the Torah text as the center of our tradition. We do not simply read and absorb the words on the page, but we apply different filters to help us interpret and apply the text to our lives.

Julia Watts Belser introduces a fascinating and helpful new lens to contemporary Torah study with her book, Loving Our Own Bones.

Join us as we explore the book and talk about how its thinking could become part of our congregational vocabulary and tradition.
