This program is focused on promoting “city-wide community activities in Los Angeles devoted to the study and diffusion of religion and science issues,” including academicians, students, members of area synagogues, and the public-at-large. Topics explored include Kabbalah in relation to origins, physics, chemistry, and photosynthesis, with other topics to be identified and explored as the TSF local society grows. Publicized bi-monthly discussion groups, featuring a guest speaker and discussion period, are planned. An annual event, hosting nationally renowned guest speakers from a balanced representation of scientific and religious thought, are widely publicized to attract a large and diverse audience. TSF has a well established website to which a moderated discussion feature has been added, open for society members and international discussion. A larger goal of the initiative lies in the planning of a 3-day conference to bring together TSF members from around the world. Matching funds are provided by a private donation to the Torah Science Foundation.
