Dear Boston teens,

The Jewish community is at a critical point. Since October 7th, the Jewish people have been at war. In Israel, they're fighting for their lives against Hamas and terror. Jews around the world are also fighting a war. A war in school and a war on social media. Everywhere we turn we see our enemies out in the open asking for Israel to be no longer exist. But we will win, as we have Hashem on our side! We have to stand up for ourselves and one of the main ways to do so is by taking some time in your week to explore your heritage. One of the main ways to fight back is by diving deeper into the rich heritage of the Torah and Jewish Values.  We believe in Judaism thought that our extra Torah study of Jewish wisdom can change the outcome of heavenly decisions on earth. 

In the merit of the over 240 hostages, let's make a small but extra commitment to take on JUST 10 minutes of learning. We'll have a marketplace of Torah Study options and times, and all you'll have to do here is sign up and select the session you want to join! You can also switch to a different session each week if you want as well. The main point is that we go on a Torah values exploration for ten minutes each week!

A Few Important Notes: 
  1. Please understand this is a weekly commitment. Of course, if you miss one here or there that is ok! However, these learning groups will only be amazing if you show up consistently!
  2. If you do want to sign up to learn, you need to sign up at a minimum for one slot during the week. The MAXIMUM you can sign up for is one learning group per day. (if you are interested in 2 or more of the learning groups on the same day please reach out to Rabbi Riesel, Sol Feder, or Mattie Watson. 
  3. We are ONLY accepting 6 teens per group at the moment so first come, first serve on the groups!
  4. DO NOT worry about not having the sefer our advisors have that handled for you!
