Learning

Netivot Shalom provides a number of opportunities to engage in Jewish learning, with formats ranging from lectures to chavruta study.

In addition to our rabbi, all members are encouraged to share their knowledge, insights and wisdom with the shul and wider community. 

Here's what's currently happening:

• ^{Weekly Dvar Torah}
  _{A highlight of most member's week, the weekly sermon is delivered between Shacharit and Musaf,  by the rabbi, a community member (male or female) or a visiting scholar.
  If you have never researched and delivered a D’var Torah and would like to give it a shot, reach out to us so we can connect you with a mentor.}
• ^{Mishnah at Seuda Sh’lishit 
  Join us between Mincha and Maariv on Shabbat afternoon for an opportunity to satisfy body and soul. Enjoy a delicious third meal while delving into the content and themes of the Tannaitic tradition.}
• ^{Rabbi's Parsha Shiur on Zoom
  Join Rabbi Elliot Kaplowitz on Tuesday evenings (8-9pm) from the comfort of your own home for a deep dive into the Parshat HaShavuah. Each week, Rabbi Kaplowitz guides learners in exploring a particular aspect of the parhsa with insights from some of the greatest Biblical commentators and practical takeaways for how to live life as a modern Jew.
  Recordings of these classes can be found here.}
• ^{Rosh Chodesh Learning - The Hidden Women of Chayil
  The Midrash ha'Gadol interprets each verse of Eshet Chayil as refering to a righteous woman in the TaNaKh. And while some - like Sarah, Rivkah, Leah and Rahel - are very well known to most of us, others - like Baya, the Almanah of Tzarephath, Hatzlelponi and Serach - are not as familiar.
  Join Janice Michaelis as she leads an exploration of some of these lesser know women and the lessons we can learn from their heroism as Jewish women.}
