In planning these events, we have been guided by a vision of Westminster as a community of learners in which we study deeply and regularly together, developing our Jewish skills and strengthening our practice and knowledge. We are excited to explore new texts and different styles of learning with each other over the coming months. In addition to our regular monthly Oneg Shabbatot, there are plenty of opportunities to come together and learn. 

Shabbat learning

On Shabbat, we come together to learn before or after the service. For more information of this learning, including three special series for the Autumn, click here.

All-day Intensives

Save the date for our first intensive, on Sunday 3rd September, which will explore Tefillah. Join us in preparation for high holidays for a full day of study and learning on the theme of Tefillah, prayer.  The sessions will include practical approaches to prayer, philosophical ideas around prayer, and an understanding of what prayer looks like here at WS. We will be learning about developing our own personal prayer practices, the power of prayer, and how we move back and forth from Torah (study) to Tefillah (prayer) in our community. This day will help us prepare for our high holidays services and touch on themes for this time of year. Sign up here.

On Sunday 21 April, we’ll be inviting a range of educators to lead sessions as we explore philosophy, learning, and practices of Jewish Spirituality & Mysticism. From Chassidut to Mussar to Kabbalah, we'll delve into some of our most esoteric texts, that have the possibility of transforming our lives and Jewish journeys.
