Torah Study 

Surely, this Instruction which I enjoin upon you this day is not too baffling for you, nor is it beyond reach. ~ Deuteronomy 30:11 

Torah Study

with Rabbi Rachel Axelrad

Jewish education never ends; we continue studying and learning until the end. 

Desert Outreach Torah study is accessible to all, regardless of background or knowledge of Hebrew.  It is not obsolete but applicable to our own lives today. 

We welcome everyone to engage in dialog, using whatever commentary works best for you.   Please join us at 10:30 on the second Saturday of the month via Zoom to discuss the week’s lesson as we strive to find the meaning and relevance of the Torah’s lessons in our own lives. 

All are welcome. Bring your favorite commentary!
