There are two great moral impulses in Torah: justice and purity.
The voice of justice says that a society is only as strong as its weakest members.

A significant part of Israeli society is trying to resist Netanyahu’s war. They should have our support.

We are once again running the bnei mitzvah classes, starting in January 2024.
We are also running a weekly Talmud shiur for people who already know their aleph-bet, which will look at what our tradition says to do when you see your community suffering.
