Torah Lishmah
Congregation Ner Shalom, 85 La Plaza, Cotati, CA 94931





Torah Lishmah means “learning for its own sake.”
The Torah Lishmah class* is an opportunity for young people past B.Mitzvah age to continue their Jewish learning on their own terms. Every month students will meet Reb Irwin at a convenient café or at his house. (Coffee is on him.) Together we will explore Jewish texts, history, mythology, philosophy – whatever the class decides they’d like to dive deeper into. This is learning for its own sake – not B.Mitzvah prep, not readying for a test. Learning for the pleasure and enrichment that only learning can provide.
*Torah Lishmah requires a minimum of 4 registrants, so encourage your Post-B.Mitzvah friends to register, too!
