Community Learning

The Board of Rabbis offers a variety of opportunities for individuals, lay leaders, and Jewish communities to engage in Talmud Torah, a lifelong engagement in Jewish learning:

Torah commentaries: Torat Malakhim, written by Rabbi Mark S. Diamond, Executive Vice President of The Board of Rabbis, and Parashat HaShavua archives, written by members of the Board of Rabbis.

One People One Book: A Citywide Transdenominational Learning opportunity. More than 500 people from over 25 area congregations, plus unaffiliated readers, embarked on a year-long study of a significant Jewish book and connected it to the Torah, through community-wide programs and smaller discussion groups.

The Synagogue Leadership Institute (SLI) has provided emerging synagogue leaders with a solid core of Jewish textual learning, leadership theory and hands-on leadership skills. SLI strengthens participants' understanding of and commitment to their respective congregations, synagogue movements and the Jewish community at large with k'lal Yisra'el sensitivity and perspective.

In addition to our Torah Portion Archives, the Board of Rabbis offers educational materials about the Jewish Holidays, as well as other Jewish Resources.
