Honouring our Torah Gibborim


When our Czech Torah required extensive repairs, many of our members responded generously. The "Gibbor" (Hebrew for "hero") program is intended to honour all those who donated $100 or more for restoration of the Torah. Each Gibbor or Gibbor family will be assigned a Parashah (Torah reading), and be acknowledged on the Shabbat when that Parashah is to be
read.

If you qualify as a Gibbor and wish to have a specific Parashah, call the Temple Office or contact Art Benjamin.

Many other people contributed less than $100 to the fund and will be designated as "Shomer" (Guardian). We will eventually contact you as well, to honour your donation to the Torah fund.

If you don't remember how much you donated to the fund, or if you want to "top it up" to $100, please call the Temple Office, or contact our Treasurer Leeat Cribbs.

Shabbat Torah Study  


Shabbat Torah Study

There will usually be two Saturday morning Torah study sessions each month.

When there is no Shabbat service scheduled on Saturday (because there was one on Friday evening), the study session will begin at 10:30am, and it will run until noon.
When there is a service scheduled that Saturday, Torah study will begin a 9:00am (with a light breakfast including bagels) and it will end at 10:25am, after which services will begin.

September Torah Study Sessions:

Due to the timing of the High Holy Days, there will be no regular Shabbat study sessions in September.

Join us for S'lichot study and service, Saturday, September 4, 9:00pm
