Ten Minutes of Torah
Who among us is so busy that he cannot spend 10 minutes a day in the study of a Jewish text? Just 10 minutes? Such a commitment would enable us to meet our Jewish obligation to make Jewish study a fixed occurrence.
If we make time to answer our cell phones a dozen times a day and to check our email five times an hour, surely we can find 10 minutes to contemplate sacred words that nourish the soul.
--Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie, November 8, 2003, 13 Cheshvan 5764
The Union for Reform Judaism will send you a one-page e-mail each day on a topic of Jewish interest. All you need to do is find 10 minutes a day to “do Torah.”
WHO? Jews committed to having Judaism inform their daily lives. Congregational officers, board members, committee chairs and adult learners are encouraged to participate.
WHAT? 10 minutes a day of personal connection to a Jewish text, issue or topic.
• Monday: Torah
• Tuesday: Social Action
• Wednesday: Israel Connections
• Thursday: Jewish Ethics
• Friday: Jewish World
Select all five days or any combination.
HOW? Each weekday morning (Monday-Friday), an e-mail will be delivered to your inbox for you to study at your convenience.
The process is simple. You choose the time to study and the Union for Reform Judaism’s Department of Lifelong Jewish Learning will provide the resources.
