Weekly Shabbat afternoon Torah session 
Our annual initiative for those long summer Shabbat afternoons has been suggested. In light of the beautiful custom throughout the ages of studying Tractate Avot / “Ethics of the Fathers” which contains timeless wisdom. It is a collection of ethics, honesty, and advice. But at its very beginning it tells us that even this part of Jewish life came from Sinai. All of that is part of Judaism.
Beginning from Passover and lasting the duration of the summer months, we will be hosting “Ethics in the Garden” study session, starting this Saturday, April 25 at the beautiful botanic garden of Peter Gordenstein and Alax Novack located at 277 Park Pl (bet Vanderbilt/Park Pl.) 5:00pm Light refreshments served.
in the event of inclement weather, session will be suspended to following week.
