D'var Torah
— led by Natan Lawrence or Lloyd Day

You’ll experience the traditional annual cycle for Torah reading from a 1st century Hebraic perspective. Prepare to spend several hours in spirit-filled praise & worship (including Davidic Dance), prayer, torah readings, and teaching. In-depth study and interactive discussion in a group format. We follow the annual diaspora Torah Readings schedule that ends at Sukkot. For this week’s inductive study outline, click here.

Children are encouraged to participate. We typically offer two Children's Class during D'var Torah, one for younger students and one for teen and pre-teen using our Torah Explorers Parasha Studies. We do not offer nursery services. Please bring quiet activities for your younger children.

Please bring two dishes to share: a main dish PLUS either:
1) a side dish of vegetable or fruit (or fruit juice), or
2) a dessert, or
3) finger foods for the afternoon coffee & snack break.

Please bring Biblical foods only. To understand what Biblical foods are, click here. To read Congregation Elim’s specific community meal halakha (guidelines), click here. If you're new to this and are unsure or if you are traveling, come as our guest. If you are a bachelor and don't know your way around a kitchen, do the best you can. There are always chips & dip or veggie platters you can contribute. (And we might add that we have wonderful single women of all ages in our congregation who are great cooks!) If you have any questions about food, please call Sandi at (503) 570-3376.
