This American Shabbat will be part of our Na'aseh V'Nishma service on Facebook live, so stay with us.

This American Shabbat is based upon National Public Radio's "This American Life." But, rather than Ira Glass and a trio of commentators discussing a theme from various perspectives, three members of our community, Laura Hoffman, Miriam Friedman Parks and Jo Reizner, will offer individual, nuanced understandings of the week's Torah Portion.

The program challenges the participants, and all of us, to understand how our personal exploration of Judaism relates to the Torah.
