Participate in a Pilot of the New Reform Torah Commentary

Online: November 8, 2025 
Shabbat morning

Congregations across North America will share in Torah study using some pages from the amazing work in progress: The New Reform Torah Commentary. This Pilot will allow editors to learn from our Torah study communities what works and what needs to be reconsidered as they continue creating this new work (tentatively due to be published in 2029). See our Tent post to attend a study session
