Adult Talmud Study

Ever wonder about the Talmud – the ancient Jewish compendium of law, philosophy, legends, rabbinic debates, and more? Kol Ami invites you to participate in an ongoing Talmud study group, lay-led once a month, facilitated twice a month by an experienced Talmud hand, Jacob Kelter.

The group’s wide-ranging discussions are friendly and welcoming, and our stance is pro-women and LGBT-affirmative. No prior Talmud/Jewish background needed!

Come find out what it’s all about! The group meets virtually on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm for an hour. Please check our calendar to for next study session dates.

 Members can access Zoom links on the member website. If you need to request the access link please contact .
