Jewish New Hampshire

We’re are an egalitarian community that loves Torah Lishma – תורה לשמה – study for it’s own sake. We’re one of the few places where Jews can discuss Torah, Mishnah, Midrash, etc. without partisan politics or fundamentalism.  Think Open Orthodoxy, Conservative Judaism, Havurah movement, and the friendly-to-tradition wing of Reform.  Click here to see our Facebook group.
