Limud means study and Shabbat Limud explores Judaism's traditions, celebrations and observances as they apply to the weekly Torah portion. Participants gather at 8:30 AM to pray P’seukei d”Zimrah (psalms and meditations) and then Rabbi Blumofe leads everyone in an informal, thought provoking and stimulating discussion.
