The Anshei Mitzvah program will begin with learning to read Hebrew and continue with Torah and liturgy study that culminates with individual Torah assignments. Upon completion of the curriculum, participants will be called to Torah to celebrate with the congregation. If you are interested in beginning this meaningful journey, please contact Susan Jacobs Here. For more information on the Hebrew Classes and the Anshei Mitzvah dates, Click Here. |
