TORAH STUDY

Please join us for a thoughtful and engaging discussion of the weekly parshah.  Everyone is welcome at this Torah Study and can find something interesting to learn. Sefaria is a recommended resource for looking up information and commentary on the parshah - you can visit the Sefaria website and in the "search" box enter the name of this week's portion.

This week, Philip Ohriner, founder of Ma'alot Farms, will be leading Torah Study! Please join us in welcoming him for this special Torah study!

Access the study's supplemental document here.

We typically meet in the Oneg room in the Sanctuary building (if you don't see us there, please check the Library and/or Chapel rooms in the Sanctuary building). Torah Study ends at 10:30am when the Saturday morning Shabbat Service begins. 

about philip ohriner

Philip Ohriner is the co-founder of Ma’alot Farms—a non-profit, regenerative farm providing produce and eggs to those facing  food insecurity in Silicon Valley. Prior to embracing an intentional, homesteading lifestyle, Philip served as a congregational rabbi for close to a decade. Philip is passionate about family, friendship, food, and community building. On the farm, Philip’s most treasured role is shepherding alongside his pack of livestock guardian dogs. Together, they protect and care for the flocks of poultry and herds of goats that provide Ma’alot Farms meat, cheese, eggs, butter, and milk, as well as the nutrients to regenerate our soil. When Philip isn’t with the herd you can find him powerlifting in the garage, usually with a dog “helping”.
