Looking to take your Jewish learning to the next level? Each three-part unit in this series uncovers the hidden intellectual, emotional, and spiritual depth of a familiar part of Jewish life. Join us for an exploration of each topic (beki-ut, proficiency) with Rabbi Alex Braver, a guided deep-dive (iyyun, in-depth study) into one element with our expert guest teachers, and a discussion and workshop to take each topic deeply to heart (le-ma’aseh, practical application).
Class sessions will be in person, with Zoom participation available. During our study, we’ll occasionally pause for some questions from the chat online.
