Ashrei - Happy are Those who Dwell in Your House

Steve Miller 

Red 4

The Rabbis teach that anyone who recites Ashrei (Psalm 145 + bits of others) three times a day is sure of life in the world to come. Why is this collection of Psalms so important?

What is the Future in a Hollow Community?

Amos Schonfield 

Orange 13

Increasingly, being involved in the Jewish community revolves around three things: Israel, the Holocaust, or antisemitism.

We'll explore how this approach risks accelerating disengagement and disaffiliation, and imagine alternatives.

What makes a decent young professionals event anyway?

Adam Corre 

Orange 11

Zionism: Past, Present, Future

Linoy Barokas

Using Chavruta, we’ll explore texts by Jewish leaders about the longing for the Land of Israel, discussing their relevance today and examining what Zionism was, is, and can be.
