The offerings of this year’s Sweet Tastes of Torah are inspired by Shabbat Shirah, or Shabbat of Song, the special Sabbath that falls this year on February 3-4. Shabbat Shirah derives its name from the passage known as Shirat Hayam/Song of the Sea. Having safely crossed the Yam Soof or Red Sea, Moses and the people of Israel joyously sang the very first song in Jewish history. And so, hava nashira, let’s study together the music and the rhythms of Jewish life.

The North Jersey Board of Rabbis (NJBR) seeks to enhance the life of the North Jersey Jewish community; better understand how to use their positions to enhance the long-term spiritual and fiscal health of congregations or Jewish community organizations; and take a united stand, when appropriate, on issues confronting the Jewish community.

Originally founded decades ago as the Bergen County Board of Rabbis, the name was changed in 1997 to include rabbis of all streams who live or work in Bergen, North Hudson, or eastern Passaic counties, New Jersey. The founding members were also interested in fostering bonds of collegiality and building understanding and cooperative relationships among rabbis of the different religious movements in Judaism.
