A Day of Learning with SVARA

Saturday, December 6th will be a Day of Learning with SVARA. The learning opportunities will include SVARA-style Torah Study at 9:15 AM, a B’Mitzvah Shabbat morning service at 10:30 AM, Kiddush lunch at 12:00 PM, and then at 1:30 PM we’ll move to the SVARA Afternoon learning and end the day with Havdalah around 5 PM.

During the afternoon of learning SVARA will bring immersive, yeshiva-style learning to Temple Beth Am as part of a transformative partnership that celebrates queer culture and the radical roots in Jewish traditions. SVARA turns outsiders into insiders, affirming that each of us has a unique presence that is essential at the table of Jewish Learning. Open to all who know the alef bet, including newcomers. We’re excited to share an afternoon of warm community connection and rigorous learning with you!

The Saturday Afternoon of Learning is open only to Temple Beth Am members and is limited to 80 people. Advanced registration by November 20th is required.

In order to participate, you need to be able to know/recognize the aleph bet. Rabbi Debbie will have a Hebrew Intensive Course on the aleph bet for those without familiarity who want to participate: 11/16, 11/23, 11/30, 7 pm-8:30 pm on Zoom; the Zoom Link is in the signup confirmation.

Some of our guests have severe smell sensitivities, so we would appreciate attendees at this event do not wear any scented body products or perfumes.

Sign up as part of the Day of Learning Opportunities.
