Learning: Boston-area and Online

Leyning/Chanting Torah

If you would like to practice the cantillation/trop for a Torah reading, ScrollScraper provides side-by-side versions of the passage, one side with the trop/vowels, and the other without, as it is in the Torah scroll.

If you would like to learn to chant/leyn Torah, Pocket Torah Trope is an excellent resource, as is Pocket Torah Full, for learning a particular Torah reading.

VirtualCantor

Designed to be inclusive, creative, and beautiful, Mayyim Hayyim is undoubtedly the most welcoming and innovative mikvah the Jewish people have -- and for us, it's local! In addition to providing a kosher mikveh for both traditional and creative uses, Mayyim Hayyim also serves the community in additional vital ways: as an art gallery, an educational provider, and -- together with  Jewish Family & Children's Service -- support for survivors of abuse.
