RegisterJudaism isn't only inherited. At the Center, it's also chosen — deliberately, over time, in the company of people doing the same thing.

Parsha Unplugged — Come Feed Your Neshama. A weekly journey into the hidden wisdom of Torah — drawing from Hasidic and Kabbalistic commentary to explore the deeper meaning beneath each week's parashah, with Tachat HaShemesh (Rabbi Mitch Chefitz's Substack) as the primary text. Discussion, reflection, and creative modalities — a trip into the Garden of Wisdom together.
