Call for Participation: Torah, Haftarah and Megillot Reading

Tifereth Israel Synagogue always encourages Torah and Haftarah readers at all levels, young and old, expert and novice. We offer a trope class on Sundays throughout the year (consult the office for times and dates). We also offer tutoring for Torah, Haftarah, Yamim Noraim (High Holy Days) and Megillot. If you have the desire to learn to lein, you might just bring out your inner Ba'al Koreh. Even occasional Torah reading is not only a great mitzvah, but gives you a great sense of accomplishment as a much-needed participant in our services. If you're itching to read your old Bar or Bat Mitzvah part, please contact our office at 619 697-6001 or by email at admin@tiferethisrael.com or Ritual Vice President who can give you the date and whatever materials you need to refresh your skills.

Midrash Shabbat

Midrash Shabbat is a "Light Lunch and Learn" program that takes place immediately after shacharit morning services one Shabbat each month. It is a a great opportunity to get a taste of a broad range of Jewish educational topics. Invited speakers include our own Rabbi Rosenthal along with various biblical scholars and educators from the San Diego Jewish Community. The speakers provide an interactive discussion on a topic of their choice. Click here to see the current schedule of topics.  

Midrash Shabbat is funded in part by the Ritual Committee, the Aaron S. Gold Institute of Jewish Studies, and patrons like you. If you would like to sponsor a future Midrash Shabbat, please contact the office by calling 619 697-6001 or email tifereth@tiferethisrael.com.
