Every week, our Wilshire Boulevard Temple clergy share their Shabbat message. In about five minutes or less, they offer personal perspectives on a topic of their choice, such as Jewish holidays, the weekly Torah portion, liturgy, customs and traditions, and sometimes current events through the lens of Jewish learning and understanding.

What Is Torah? - July 17, 2026 - Rabbi Leah Fein

What do we really mean when we say "Torah"? In this week's Shabbat Message, Rabbi Leah Fein explores a deceptively simple question with surprisingly rich answers. Beginning with the opening of D'varim (Deuteronomy), she reflects on Torah as more than a sacred scroll or a collection of texts—it is, at its heart, a teaching meant to guide, inspire, and remain accessible across generations. Join us as we consider how each of us is invited to discover our own relationship with Torah and the wisdom it offers for our lives today.
Each week, a member of the clergy offers their personal perspective on a topic of their choice, such as the week's Torah portion, a Jewish holiday, ritual, custom, or history.
