Shabbat and Hanukah Programming

Hanukah wouldn't be Hanukah without this age-old tradition! Come and have a game of dreidel with fellow Limmudniks and maybe learn something new along the way.

Procrastination of biblical proportions

Sefi Kraut 

Orange 11

The Torah often tells us what we must do, are forbidden to do, or ought to do with our time. Yet several biblical characters delayed taking action in pivotal situations. Why did they hesitate to act? How did their reluctance impact themselves and others? Gain a better understanding of procrastination via Torah and psychology… or do it tomorrow.

Shalom Aleichem: a model for working with developmental trauma

Lisa Goldstein 

Orange 14

Developmental trauma occurs when a child's needs go unmet and they develop unconscious patterns that cause life-long challenges. In this session, we will explore a surprising and helpful connection between 'Shalom Aleichem', the song Jews sing to welcome in the angels to our Shabbat evening meal, and the powerful work of healing developmental trauma.

US-Israel relations in the new era post 2022 elections

Efraim Chalamish 

Red 1

The mid-term elections cycle in the USA and the new Israeli government in 2022 have reshaped politics in both places. From the cost of living to international policies, the two nations are reassessing their relations in this post-election era. The session analyses the results in the USA and Israel and how they shape the economic, security and strategic relations moving forward.

Understanding, adaptability and worldliness: the classical Sephardic approach

Ruben Shimonov 

Blue 34

What can Sephardic texts teach us about Jewish leadership, communal life, inclusivity and engagement with broader society? Join us as we discover the insightful writings of influential sages, scholars and leaders from the greater Sephardic world who have a lot to say on this topic!

Empowering young Jewish leaders to face tomorrow’s challenge

WJC Diplomatic Corps 

Red 4

As the Jewish world fights new forms of antisemitism, we must take on the challenges. While dissecting the issues at hand, we learn to dismantle these forms of antisemitism and give the younger generation the tools to do so, while working together to work on new ones.
