Learning Opportunities

Most months, we have a special learning program, either a potluck Lunch and Learn gathering, following Shabbat services or a Schmooze and Learn on another day. Check our blog for more information.  Recent topics have included a conversation with the organizers of Standing Together and “Cosmic Paradox” with Evgenya Shkolnik.

One Minyan One Book Club

The minyan’s book club  meets every four to six weeks on a Sunday evening on Zoom. Frequently, authors join us to discuss the book. Recent books: Abraham Joshua Heschel: A Life of Radical Amazement by Julian Zelizer and The Oppermanns by Lion Feuchtwanger.

Additional Learning Opportunities

Periodically, we have evening programs on Zoom. Recent events: Human Rights Shabbat commemoration:  Life in a Firestorm: Hellishness and Help for Jews in Ukraine with Rabbi Alisa Zilbershtein and a follow-up event with Debbie Cardon, Director of Action for Post-Soviet Jewry.

Tzedakah Programming

On the fourth Thursday of every month, minyan members gather at First Church Cambridge (our home for the High Holidays) to make soup for the Church’s Friday Café.  Please contact RabbiJim@worshipandstudy.org for more information.

In addition, we often hold tzedakah campaigns to support emergent causes, whether globally or locally. Please be in touch if  you have ideas for a program.
