Two groups. Do one or both!

Intimate. Curious. Spacious. Synchronous.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH IYUN, I am so pleased to offer not one, but TWO wonderful opportunities this summer for anyone who values Jewish wisdom and learning in community.

TOPIC AND TOPIC

Together, we will explore …..

You do NOT need to have any previous knowledge to join (and it’s also fine if you do!).

How will these work?

* During our time together, we’ll read and discuss texts meant to teach and get us thinking. With Jewish wisdom as our guide, we will welcome questions and explore our reflections on the readings.

* Come ready to be curious. Leave feeling even more curious :)

* There will be no required outside readings or assignments, but you may find that you’re inspired to continue your explorations between sessions!

“Ben Zoma says: Who is wise? He who learns from every person.”
— Pirke Avot 4:1

  • People in the process of converting to Judaism who wish to expand their existing Jewish conversations and explorations 

  • Folks who have Jewish heritage but limited education or knowledge

  • Jews who identify as “cultural” or “spiritual but not religious”

  • Jews who haven’t set foot in a synagogue since their b’nai mitzvah 

  • Jews who are observant in traditional and/or non-traditional ways

  • Jews who are established in a synagogue/Jewish community of any denomination and love furthering their learning whenever possible
