Join Rabbi Brent on Friday nights at BHA for a soulful exploration of the weekly Torah portion. This year we'll be traveling through the text with the writings of contemporary thinker, Rabbi Shai Held and his two volume collection, The Heart of Torah. 

Many of us were privileged to hear Rabbi Held when he spoke at BHA in January 2020. He is widely considered to be one of the most important teachers of Torah in this generation, and he brings mind and soul together in an extraordinary heart-centered approach to Torah and life.

Source sheets will be available online, and if you are planning on being part of the group regularly, I encourage you to get your own copy of the books, either as a hardcover set, or as two separate paperback volumes here and here.

After exactly 600 days, we are happy to announce we will again be having services in our communal home at 331 Verplanck Avenue. Of course, that doesn’t mean that things are going back exactly to the way they were.
