Learn to read (leyn) Torah! We will learn about why Torah is read with cantillation (trope), and then learn the trope itself. Each student will learn a short (3-4 verse) aliyah to read at Shabbat morning services in late 2021 or early 2022 (recordings will be provided for studying). Mallory is an experienced Jewish educator who is currently pursuing a Master in Jewish Education at the Jewish Theological Seminary. She has tutored b'nai mitzvah students at the HEA since 2017 and serves as Ritual Coordinator for the congregation, teaching and supporting lay leaders in reading Torah. You will often find Mallory layning (reading from the) Torah on Shabbat mornings. She has learned 5 of the 6 musical systems for cantillation (trope) -- Torah, Haftarah, Esther, Eicha, and High Holiday -- as well as Shirat HaYam, and looks forward to learning Regalim soon. A lifelong member of the HEA, Mallory learned Torah and Haftarah trope from Cantor Marty Goldstein.
