Class Description: Join us for lively discussion, rich text study, and compelling analysis. As we come to each Torah portion each year, we find new inspiration, new meanings, and new connections with the text. We use materials that enable us to access the depth and richness of Hasidic spirituality presented in contemporary terms. Our texts (in English) are the comments of a Hasidic master on the Torah portion, and its extension based in mindfulness practice and Jewish spirituality.

Classes are designed for drop-in participation; no prior knowledge is necessary or expected.

Instructor Bio: Sara Lynn remembers receiving her first chumash (volume of Torah) in 3rd grade – and thus was born a life-long love of studying Torah. Born in Chicago, she landed in St. Paul in 1989 where she came to work at the Talmud Torah of St. Paul Day School because the mission and vision resonated with her soul. After serving in many roles at TTSP, she served as the Director of Hineni from its inception in 2014 to 2022. She believes passionately in the importance of Jewish learning and the impact it can have on people’s lives. She loves exploring Jewish texts, customs, values, and ideas with students. Sara Lynn enjoys cooking, gardening, visiting with friends, singing, and being outdoors. Sara Lynn is married to Barbie Levine and is Savta to Ruby and Lucy.
