  Over the course of the Jewish year, the entire Torah is read (in weekly portions). To celebrate, come study with us as we begin to read the Torah from the beginning again. What story (or stories) does the Torah tell? What's the point, and why have Jews kept on reading it for centuries?
All are welcome to this festive brunch (free for upperclassmen & graduate students).

Attention! Special Offer:
 
The CJL and JLIC are giving out gift certificates (for $25 each) to students who commit to studying any Jewish text with a study partner for 10 hours over the course of the Fall semester (including reading week and finals).  The gift certificates can be used on the Eichler's Judaica  website to purchase any item sold there but we are offering the gift certificates at the beginning of the semester so that you have the option of using them towards the purchase of the book you will study with your partner.  The qualifying study-partner (hevruta) can be another student or a regular study session with Sara or David Wolkenfeld.  There are a limited number of gift certificates:  Offer valid while supplies last!
