Torah & Tea 5787 season: two JLI series on select Monday evenings at the Brentwood Library

The 5787 Season

Torah & Tea: ancient wisdom, slowly steeped

Some questions follow us for years. Was the forbidden fruit really an apple? Did Moses have horns? When we pray, is anyone really listening?

This season, Torah & Tea answers them, one evening and one cup at a time. Join us for the original sources, warm conversation, and a lesson to carry into everyday life.

Our curriculum comes from JLI, the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute. Every topic stands on its own, while attending throughout the session lets you keep discovering, connecting, and building on what you learn.
