Adult Learning (Shiurim)

Interested in Jewish learning? We’d love to welcome you to our opportunities for adult learning at FRS!

Our regular sessions don't require booking and you can come for as many or as few sessions as you like; some are monthly, some weekly.

Extra learning sessions will be added at different times of year and may include topics related to upcoming festivals or ritual practice. These will be advertised separately and may require booking.

For dates and further details of all classes, please read our newsletter or consult the Calendar.

 

Group study

 

Our regular sessions include:

Shiur
Saturdays at 9.30am - study/discuss something related to the weekly Torah or Haftarah reading, with a variety of different teachers, before the morning service. (restarting September 2025)

Shira
Saturdays at 9.30am - sing along with familiar melodies and learn new tunes with Cantor Zoe Jacobs and Rhiannon Humphreys, before the morning service.

Lunch and Learn
Saturdays at 12.45pm - a chavurah lunch and informal study, with Janet Berenson (and sometimes guest teachers). Bring a vegetarian main or dessert to share (no nuts) and your inquiring open mind. No Hebrew or Torah knowledge required but always welcome.

Talmud
Thursdays at 6.30pm - join Rabbi Eleanor for a taste of studying Talmud. Hebrew reading ability is not required as we’ll translate as we go.  It may be helpful to bring a Tanakh if you have one. 

Midrash
Thursdays at 10.30am and at 6.30pm (same session, two time options) - join Rabbi Eleanor for a monthly dip into midrash (rabbinic texts from beyond the Talmud, all available in translation) ahead of each Rosh Chodesh.
