Intro to Israel: Understanding the Land, People, and Culture
2025-05-22 18:30 - 20:00
The number 1 reason adult Jews say that keeps them from being more Jewishly active is that they simply don’t know enough. That is certainly true when it comes to Israel.

Israel’s history, culture and people have always been and will continue to be distinctly nuanced and complex. This course will present historical events and statistics pertaining to Israel and facilitate each learner’s critical analysis of a wide range of subject matter, perspectives, and experiences. Topics include the founding of the State of Israel, a timeline of Jewish history in the region, the various versions of Zionism, and the path to becoming an independent country.

This course is for those who want to really get the building blocks to better understand how to sift through the many talking points thrown at us today. Register here.

Topics

February 27: What is Zionism?March 27: Formation of Modern StateMay 22: War & Changing GeographyJune 26: Peace

Mussar Learning with Rabbi Oren
2025-05-15 18:45 - 20:30
What is Mussar? An ancient Jewish way of learning and living to help us grow into our very best selves. Mussar teachs that the soul is the primary essence of who we are and we do not necessarily experience our inner lives in this way. Instead, we develop a belief that our selves, our egos, form our primary identity. In following the path of Mussar to build our inner lives, we will learn to come to appreciate the difference between self and soul, and especially to develop an understanding of the ideal relationship we can foster between these two dimensions.
