Our scholar in residence program this year is as exciting as ever.  Each scholar will teach three times over the course of a Shabbat.  On Friday night, the scholars speak in a more intimate setting at a the home of one of our community members, allowing for much interaction and participation from the community.  The scholar addresses the entire shul from the pulpit on Shabbat morning, and returns to shul for a special Seudah Shlisheet shiur with more time for questions and answers. An extra special thank you to our sponsors for this weekend, Harold and Brenda Walt.
