Weekly Classes
New class
Tuesdays 8:00-9:00 PM (In Person- held at the Jewish Center)
Torat Hayim: Studies in the Weekly Torah Portion with Dan Smokler
It is said the weekly Torah speaks anew in a distinct voice to every generation. This class will study a selection of the weekly Torah portion through the lens of classical and Hassidic commentaries, attempting to discern the unique message for this moment. We will look at the larger existential themes evoked in these commentaries asking how the Torah might be a commentary on our life and our life a commentary on the Torah. All are welcome; no prior knowledge is needed.
Mishna with Yuri Simon - Tuesdays at 8 PM
To join: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87359647358In this shiur we learn the simple text of the Mishna and are currently learning Seder Nashim. No prior knowledge is assumed, and you can join at any time on the weekly Zoom.
Teachings of Wonder, Wisdom, and Values with Joe Septimus - Thursdays at 8 PM
We will explore selected teachings from Torah, Talmud, Midrash, and various other sources. The texts are rich in literary style, their willingness to confront the strengths and weaknesses of human nature, and their exploration of godliness and universal realities. Our texts and discussion will enhance and deepen our appreciation of life’s wisdom and Jewish values. To join: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88634534435?pwd=ODVOWU5CRFZNWXFiR3Nxdm1ncU5FZz09

Darkhei Noam Annual Campaign
Membership dues, Yamim Noraim ticket sales, and other income only cover about two-thirds of our operating expenses. We rely on donations from our membership to bridge the gap.
The annual campaign helps us pay rent, salaries of our executive director and youth coordinator, security, children’s programming, kiddush food and so much more.
5785 Membership
As a growing minyan, we depend solely on membership and other contributions from our community to meet our operating expenses. Darkhei Noam invites you to renew your membership or join as a member for the first time. We welcome everyone to join as members, irrespective of financial contributions. We are deeply appreciative of all the support from our community. Please keep in mind that membership dues alone only cover 25% of our budget costs. Therefore, we also ask that those members who can make an additional contribution please consider doing so.
