    "Torah For All And Torah For Each"
    As we enter the weeks between Pesah and Shavuot--leaving Egypt and approaching Sinai--we eagerly turn our attention to receiving the Torah. The Torah that we receive is both a Torah for all and a Torah for each. With poetry and midrash, we will explore, enjoy, and experience the moment of receiving the Torah as a collective asset and as a personal experience. Join us! Related texts: "Torah Revealed to Each" and "Torah Not Yet Given."
