Weekly Haftorah Class | Every Wednesday at 10:00am 

When Antiochus IV Epiphanes (c. 215–164 B.C.E.; Greek Hellenistic king) forbade the public reading of the Torah to prevent Israel’s spiritual revival. Instead, Israel resorted to reading the Prophets, replacing the Torah readings. Join us on Zoom to study and explore each Haftarah of the year.
