We Love Questions!

Please feel free to ask any question on anything related to Torah or Judaism

No question is trivial – “the Bashful never learn” (Ethics of our Fathers). Whether it’s something you missed in Hebrew School, never had a chance to study, a deeper insight into a text you’re studying, or something strange someone said and you wanted to check it up… send in your question to us or come on over! We love to chat, shmooze and study.
