Torah — the bedrock of Judaism
Rabbi Ismar Schorsch reminds us in his book “Canon without Closure” the study of Torah is the bedrock of Judaism and the ballast of a Jewish life. It should start early, be serious, and never lapse. It is this value that made Jews the people of the book and enabled them to overcome the powerlessness that comes with exile. Living largely in their heads, homes and synagogues, they proved time and again that the pen is mightier than the sword.”
We are blessed in our community to have so many teachers and synagogues where we can learn Torah.
