SHNAYIM MIKRA CLUB

Every Shabbat in Shul, we read a new portion ("Parsha") of the Torah; While we benefit from reading and listening to the Parsha on Shabbat, there is nothing like doing that after having reviewed the portion in advance. That is probably what is behind the idea of "Shnayim Mikra". Those words are taken out of the Talmud's dictum that "One should always complete the Parasha along with the community twice in the original Hebrew and once with (a) translation."

We will be meeting again for another in-depth "learning session" on a selection or selections from the Parsha, or "Sedra" of this week. If you can, please try to read the Sedra at least once with a translation or commentary before the Zoom class.  If you are planning to attend, it would be wonderful if you can, at a minimum, prepare by studying/reading/learning the citations listed below along with Rashi.
