TORAH STUDY WITH RABBI DEUTSCH:

Join us any Wednesday, 8:15 pm, at the CTN Center for a unique weekly Torah Study session with Rabbi Doni Deutsch. See for yourself why participants - young and old, married and single, whether or not they have strong backgrounds in Torah study - are so excited about this special Torah study opportunity.

"Rabbi Deutsch brings such a brilliant, enthusiastic, and optimistic approach to Torah study that he gives a new spiritual strength to his students each week. The class is thoroughly uplifting and invigorating."

"He draws upon his enormous reservoir of Torah knowledge to give his students a new lesson, a different emphasis, a fresh perspective... Rabbi Deutsch has the uncanny ability to connect 'now and here' with the 'then and there' ..."

Together we'll explore our 3300 year-old 'best seller' and learn not just the stories and traditions, but drawing on the Talmud and centuries of Torah commentary, we will discover practical and valuable 'take-home' lessons for self-improvement and spiritual growth.

Each week is a stand alone class so 'perfect attendance' is not required, and advance registration is not required - so just show up! We'll be glad to have you!
