The Coastside Torah Circle has been meeting live in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 30 years. And since March 2020, on Zoom.<\/p>\n

By learning from our holy teachers over a broad spectrum of Jewish thought spanning many times and places — from traditional to Kabbalah to Hasidus to Renewal, and from each other — we also, over time and with God’s help, get the opportunity to become people of wisdom.<\/p>\n

The Torah Circle is about honoring Torah and raising the sparks. Please join us, to listen deeply, to speak, and to learn.<\/p>\n

Blessings,
\n
