Study, Dialogue, Debate

We're a community of life-long learners. Over the course of a year you can take a multi-session course, drop into a single class, or catch a workshop or lecture — including scholars in residence and visiting teachers we bring in from outside the community.

Our current classes, including Yesodot: Foundations of Judaism and Parsha Unplugged, live on the Programs & Events page — along with the path toward conversion for anyone ready to make it official.
