Join us at TORCH Dallas for a unique and uplifting experience - the Learners' Service, led by Rabbi Bentzi Epstein. This service is specially designed for those who wish to deepen their understanding and connection to Jewish prayers, particularly for individuals who are not fluent in Hebrew. Our Learners' Service is a welcoming space for Jews, regardless of their background or level of religious observance. Whether you're a Dallas local or from beyond, you'll find a community eager to learn and grow together. Rabbi Epstein leads the service in English and guides congregants through the key prayers recited during Shabbat and High Holidays.
At TORCH Dallas, our mission is to enrich Jewish life in our community through inspiring events and programs that connect Jews with Torah and a higher purpose. Led by Rabbi Bentzi & Batya Epstein and Rabbi Binyomin & Kayla Epstein, TORCH Dallas is dedicated to serving Jews in the D-FW community and beyond.
TORCH Dallas shares a mission with TORCH, which was founded in Houston almost 30 years ago as a resource for learning and connection through a unique and non-judgmental approach to Jewish education. Learn more about TORCH at torchweb.org

Rabbi Bentzi Epstein says that what guides him in this endeavor is a lesson from Maimonides: “He that enjoys their food on the holiday and doesn’t take care of the needy is not rejoicing with G-d. This is rejoicing with their stomach.” Via TJP
