Midrash is a prominent genre of early rabbinic interpretation, often associated with stories and “filling in” gaps of the Torah. But who has the right to write midrash - only 3rd century rabbis? This class will examine texts written by Jews who have lent their own voice to the midrashic canon. What questions are they asking about our sacred stories, and how are they answering these questions through stories, poetry, or song?

Shabbat mornings offer a wealth of worship and learning opportunities for all ages. We hold one congregational service, beginning at 9:30am. Men and women of all ages - from age 13 through grandparents - lead portions of the service, receive aliyot, and read Torah. It's not unusual for younger children, below b'nei mitzvah age, to lead the chanting of specific prayers. Youth childcare and services begin in our youth wing at 10:00am for ages 18 months-6th grade. The congregation always enjoys lunch together following the service.

Shabbat morning is made up of three services: Shacharit, Torah, and Musaf. Come on Shabbat morning to explore the meaning and choreography of Shacharit. This class will meet in the library and then return to the sanctuary to apply our new skills.

Saturdays beginning at 10:00am, children ages 18 months-6th grade may be dropped off in the youth wing for childcare, followed by youth services. Details at https://www.olamtikvah.org/services#youth-shabbat
