Our rabbis teach that one of the main pillars of a rich Jewish life is Torah. By this, they not only meant learning from the Torah scroll itself, but also learning from the fullness of Jewish texts, traditions, and culture. Temple Beth Shalom joyfully fosters a community of learners that includes all – embracing each individual’s background, experience, interest, and age. 

Our two weekly Shabbat morning Torah Study sessions are made rich by our active discussion – discovering how ancient text speaks to our lives today.  

Throughout the year, single session seminars and multi-session courses are taught by our clergy, by outstanding guest teachers and nationally renowned scholars, award-winning authors, and by members of our own TBS community – including many wonderful rabbis who, blessedly, have made TBS their congregational home! 

Learning at TBS is always dynamic, inspirational, and meaningful.  Together, we explore such varied subjects as Talmud, Jewish Ethics, Spirituality, History, and Israel. We sponsor life-perspective-enhancing travel experiences that explore the history of Jewish Boston, the history of Civil Rights in the South, the immigration experience in New York City, Morocco, Italy, Spain, Cuba, Israel, and more!  In addition, we also invite ‘travel inward’ through experiences with yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.

If there is something that you wish to learn about at TBS, but don’t see it (yet), just let us know! There is something for everyone at TBS. Please come and learn!
