Upcoming Classes
At the heart of Jewish culture there has always been Jewish learning—an engaged and vibrant meeting of minds.
2021-2022 Academic Courses:
Fall Course: Outsmarting Antisemitism - Beginning Oct. 26th
We cannot let antisemitism define our Judaism, but we cannot ignore it either. Through illuminating texts and case studies, this course considers the sources of this ancient scourge, along with the appropriate strategies for overcoming it with positivity, purpose, and plenty of Jewish pride.

Winter Course: Meditation from Sinai - Beginning Feb. 1st
This course will explore the world of authentic Torah- and Chassidut-based meditation and spirituality in a down-to-earth and accessible way. This course exposes students to the unique Jewish approach to meditation, giving you practical techniques to incorporate these teachings in your life, and communicates Chasidic teachings in an entirely new light.

Spring Course: Beyond Right-The values that shape Judaism civil code - Beginning May 17th
Explore the values that shape Judaism's civil code. This course combines the study of Jewish values with the exploration of practical and relevant halachic questions. In the six lessons of this course we discuss fundamental Jewish values such as lifnim mishurat hadin, arvus, and teshuvah—and demonstrate how these values guide and shape Jewish civil law. The goal of this course is to teach students the true meaning of Jewish values and what makes Jewish civil law uniquely Jewish.
*Continuing Legal Education credits available.
