Torah on Tap - "Stories Among the Stones"
Sunday, October 26 at 7:30 pm
As seasonal decorations continue to appear across our neighborhoods, we will turn to Jewish sources that speak of cemeteries as places that are not only about loss, but also about presence, memory, and prayer. We’ll explore laws that guide our respect for these spaces, stories set within them, and the ways they have helped shape some of our most precious prayers. Join GRJC community members for Torah study with our rabbinic intern, puck glass. RSVP HERE. Upcoming dates: 11/17, 12/14 and more.
