Adult learning experiences are good for the mind, body and soul! According to Harvard Medical School, “scientists have found that brainy activities stimulate new connections between nerve cells and may even help the brain generate new cells, developing neurological ‘plasticity’ and building up a functional reserve that provides a hedge against future cell loss. Any mentally stimulating activity should help to build up your brain. Read, take courses…” Ohav has just the ticket for you to do this with our Lifelong Learning options!
A Torah Study Circle led by Rabbi Rena Kieval
Through reading and lively conversation, our group studies the basic content, the peshat, of each parsha, and explores its deeper teachings through traditional and contemporary commentary and our own thinking. We use the Etz Chayim chumash as our text, and students may purchase a copy through the Ohav office at the time of registration.
