I bought this super-clear book at Limmud. My two adult students and I really enjoy studying it. One pupil describes her growing understanding as 'little pearls that shine'. This discussion session, suitable for students and teachers, will show how to go from just about reading Hebrew to develop some understanding of grammar, prayers and texts.

The 'pushka' or tzedaka (charity) box is a fixture in the Jewish home. Often we raise funds for Jewish causes. Do we have a religious obligation to support the destitute outside of our community?

Drawing on the Yiddish women's tradition of Tkhines, this session will teach you how to craft your own heartfelt prayers, rituals and expressions of hope in response to the recent horrors afflicted on Jewish communities. This is a safe, supportive space of expression. Self Care Tkhines is a project powered By Limmud.
