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. 

Oneg Shabbat

Saturdays, 12:45-2:15pm
After the Shabbat morning service, we come together to share a meal and explore a chosen topic with
Rabbi Kamila, Rabbi Zahavit and Yael Roberts. Our Oneg Shabbat Lunches allow members to discuss engaging themes from the Torah which impact our modern lives.
