Consider Joining us for Torah Study…

(You can come in your pajamas…)

Each week, an intrepid group of TOO members gets on the phone to talk Torah. It’s easy, convenient, and you don’t even have to get out of your pajamas to join in the conversation.

This week, we will be studying Parshat Lech Lecha (Genesis 12:1-17:27) in which Abraham is told to get on the get-go to Canaan, promptly appears to sell his wife’s honor to the Egyptian pharaoh, divides territory with Lot (then has to rescue his nephew from a bunch of area kings), wanders through time (is it day or night in Genesis 15, and why does God show up as a fiery oven?), and then finds himself in bed with his wife’s servant, Hagar at Sarah’s request. Oy! (Or maybe not…). 

Genesis is a wild ride through our ancestral narratives. TOO members, feel free to join Torah study at any time you like (any week you like). If you want to be added to the list, please send a note to info@or-olam.org and we will send you the call-in number.

This week’s parsha can be found here: http://www.jtsa.edu/PreBuilt/ParashahArchives/jpstext/lekhlekha.shtml

Our haftorah this week is Isaiah 40:27-41:16 and can be found here: http://www.jtsa.edu/PreBuilt/ParashahArchives/jpstext/lekhlekha_haft.shtml
