Rabbi’s Challenge: Let's Study!

Have Knowledge, Will Travel.

Choose a time, a topic, a location and Rabbi Pearlson will meet you and raise your knowledge quotient.

Outreach in the truest sense of the word. We know that work, family… a host of obligations may prevent you from coming to us, so we will come to you!

Breaking for lunch? (If not, your mother will not be pleased.) Make it a Learning Lunch! Select a topic of interest to you and your colleagues (or congregants, or classmates, or co-workers) and Rabbi Pearlson will provide everything but the food (food for thought? yes; food for lunch? no).

Make it an evening, a Sunday, a mid-afternoon respite from your daily grind. Rabbi Pearlson is a man on a mission…to expand your knowledge and enhance your understanding.

Contact Rabbi Pearlson to pursue the possibilities.
