How do people know how to chant the Torah? This beautiful, ancient system is a treat to learn and inspiring to sing. A six-session class led by Ken Lerner will teach you everything you need to connect with this heritage and become a proud leyner (Torah chanter). Maybe you have a child (or niece or nephew) who will be a bar, bat, or b’nei mitzvah in the next few years. This would be a chance to be one of the Torah readers at that special life cycle event. Or maybe you have always wondered what it would take for you yourself to chant Torah. Maybe it is a logical next step on your path of embracing Jewish practices. Ken has been a patient teacher of beginning Torah readers for over 30 years at Havurah and would be happy for you too to feel the satisfaction of gaining this skill.

Learning trope over a 5-week period necessarily requires an ability to read Hebrew, so this class is not well suited for very beginning Hebrew learners, or those who cannot yet read, or decode Hebrew.

Class is limited to eight people.

Led by Ken Lerner.
