If you've been meaning to study the weekly Torah portion but don't know where to start, come study with me!

"Torah From the Beginning" is a weekly zoom Torah study group that assumes no prior knowledge. Maybe you're in a conversion process or recently completed it. Maybe you forgot everything you knew from Hebrew school. Maybe you just want to start at the beginning!

We will meet weekly on Tuesday afternoons at 3pm ET, starting October 6.

How Do We Talk About Israel in 2026? | Rabbi Michael Marmur

04/17/2026

Looking forward to this series! Come join me if you want to explore radical Jewish views of God.

What if the Jewish idea of God is… not what you think?

Spinoza rejected a personal God.
Maimonides stripped God of all human qualities.
Judith Plaskow reimagined God through a feminist lens.

These aren’t fringe ideas—they’re part of the Jewish conversation.

In this 4-session series, Rabbi Micah Streiffer will explore some of Judaism’s most radical thinkers—and use them to ask our own biggest questions about God.
