Shabbat morning from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m.

Join Daniel Silverman, Beth Tzedec’s Director of Programming, for a weekly deep dive into the Book of Leviticus (Sefer Vayikra). Traditionally the first book children study, Leviticus is often seen as less relevant today because of its focus on sacrifice and ritual purity—but it has so much to teach us.

Through traditional and modern commentaries, plus academic insights, we’ll uncover how Vayikra speaks to our lives now and brings timeless meaning to light.

For more information, email Daniel Silverman.
