Nourishment from a Bowl of Aleph Bet Soup: Stories and Teachings from the Hebrew Letters
Next up in HaMakom's Continuing Education Series, Rabbi Jack Schlachter presents. The Hebrew aleph bet offers rich opportunities for exploring Judaism. In this talk, Rabbi Jack will examine the history of the aleph bet and its use as a structural device in the Jewish Bible and siddur. There will be a summary of various aleph bet tools used in Torah commentary including gematria, notarikon, and other techniques known as remez which hint at additional meanings beyond the literal. Examples of each will be studied. Finally, a synopsis of four separate “Aleph Bet” midrashim (expansions on the Bible) will be provided, and short passages from each will be shared.
A Community of
Heart, Mind, and Spirit
Welcome to HaMakom, a Jewish community that nourishes heart, mind, and spirit, fostering belonging through deep and joyful Jewish practice.
We honor both tradition and renewal; heart-opening music; learning in community; and tikkun olam, compassion in action. HaMakom values and practices inclusion and diversity; members from every generation, walk of life, and level of observance feel at home here.

When I moved to New Mexico three years ago, HaMakom opened its doors wide, inviting me into spiritual community. I love the warmth, diversity, and human scale of this congregation. My heart lifts every time I enter the sanctuary for Shabbat services and see welcoming smiles on so many faces. Please join us and see for yourself!
