Jewish tradition teaches us that the world stands on three things: Torah study, prayer and loving acts of kindness.  While we practice all of these values at the OJC, Torah study is at the core of what we do, leading us to more connections, more action, and more commitment.

​

For our Jewish community, learning is never complete, but is always ongoing.  Our synagogue offers a wide variety of topics, formats and times.  There is truly something for every congregant to begin or continue a lifetime of learning.  Whether you choose a weekly Torah study group or a monthly Ethics course, OJC is the place for you to engage with Torah as a context for living! It is sometimes intimidating to begin study as an adult. Your rabbis welcome your questions and suggestions about the class that might be right for you, and if you are looking to learn something not being offered, we will make it happen!
