Torah Study Club
The UHC Singapore Torah Study Club meets weekly and is hosted and led by our Rabbis. The Torah Parsha of the week serves as the basis for a group discussion, with themes selected in collaboration with attendees and our Rabbis. The conversation is primarily in English, and the program is designed to be accessible to all, regardless of whether you have any background or education in Torah or Hebrew.
Please join us for what is always a lively and engaging discussion.
Torah and Tonics
Join us for some schmoozing, some Torah learning, and some Gin & Tonics! If you've always wanted to attend Wine & Wisdom or Scotch & Scriptures - this is your chance for some informal learning and hanging out in an all-gender setting.
Scotch and Scriptures
Calling all UHC men! Come share a glass and time with new and old friends. We promise just a bissel Torah and a lot of fellowship. No knowledge required, just your own self.
Wine and Wisdom
Calling all UHC women! Come share a glass of wine, and dig deep into our own life wisdom and the wisdom of our tradition. No knowledge required, just your own self.
Lunch and Learn
The UHC regularly meets for seminars, lectures, and discussions on a broad selection of topics relevant to our members - religion, culture, art, business, and academic subjects and more.
In the past we've hosted speakers such as the head of the WUPJ, the Israeli Ambassador to Singapore, and the Chairman of Yad Vashem.
Book Club
The UHC book club has been running since June 2021, and we have read a number of mostly Jewish-themed non-fiction books including 'A Tale of Love and Darkness' by Amos Oz, 'People Love Dead Jews' by Dara Horn, and our upcoming book, 'A State at Any Cost - The Life of David Ben Gurion' by Tom Segev. Our book club meets once a month via Zoom, and our regular participants dial-in from as far as the USA, The Philippines, Taiwan, and of course locally here in Singapore. Please see the UHC Facebook page, website, or email for upcoming books and meeting dates.
