Introduction to Jewish Practice
NSP offers an “Introduction to Jewish Practice: Grounded and Open Judaism for Everyday Life,” course to the NSP community. The course, which is open to current and prospective members, teaches the foundations of Jewish practice and guides participants through the tenets of Jewish thinking, ritual, and spirituality. The course is geared towards anyone who wants to learn more or delve more deeply into Jewish practice, including those who want to update (or unlearn) their Hebrew School education, interfaith couples, and those returning to or interested in exploring Judaism.
To learn more about the course and inquire about the next session, reach out to info@newsynagogueproject.org.

Weekly Parsha Study with Rabbi Yosef
Join Rabbi Yosef and NSP members in a weekly text study class on Thursdays at Noon over Zoom. Each class will focus on a particular aspect of the weekly Torah portion. No prior text study experience is required. Join every week or when you are able.
Shabbat Morning Text Study
Once a month, NSP members gather for a Saturday morning text study where they unpack the week’s parsha, or Torah reading, together. Rabbi Yosef will lead the discussion, which is accessible to those with and without deep knowledge of Torah.
