A Talmud class at Kol Ami has attracted people from all over Tucson and many winter visitors from around the country.

Those attending are neither Torah nor Talmud scholars but are Jews who find the Talmud topics, discussion, logic interesting to consider and discuss. While few, if any, conclusions are ever reached, the process of discussion is fascinating!

We’d love to have you join us online (Zoom) on Tuesdays from 10:00-11:30 throughout the year. Once you are signed up, you will receive the necessary course information.

There is no cost to attend Talmud Study.

This course will be offered on Zoom only.

Join Rabbi Sandy Seltzer on a journey through the Book of Splendor, the Crown Jewel of Jewish Mysticism - the Zohar. The Zohar explores everything from the structure of the Universe to the particulars of palm reading.

Through his engaging teaching style, Rabbi Seltzer shares his deep knowledge and curiosity about Jewish tradition, mysticism, philosophy, and literature as we move through this intricate commentary and guide to all things big and small.

In this exploration of Jewish mysticism, we use the Pritzker edition of the Zohar, an English translation. No prior knowledge is necessary.

Classes will be held at Kol Ami right after Shabbat morning services, from approximately 12:30 – 1:15 pm.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to chant sacred texts like the Torah (on Shabbat/weekdays or High Holy Days), Haftarah, or Megilat Esther for Purim? Now’s your chance! Join Cantor Jen’s engaging cantillation class and become a proud member of our Yad Squad!

This 10-session course will teach you to chant our sacred texts using the beautiful trope symbols that bring them to life.

To get the most out of this experience, it’s helpful to have a basic understanding of Hebrew letters and reading.

The class kicks off with learning Shabbat/weekday Torah and Haftarah trope, as well as the special melody for chanting the Song of the Sea. After that, we will move on to learning High Holy Days Torah trope and (time permitting) Megilat Esther trope.

We can't wait for you to join us in learning this important and empowering tradition of our Jewish heritage. As the old saying goes, "Give a Jew a recording, they'll chant for a day; teach a Jew to chant, and they'll chant for a lifetime...be that Jew!"
