Register in advance. Celebrate the new year with a deep dive into Jewish learning. Join us for a Lunch & Learn exploration into the most pressing issues facing the Jewish world today. Join us for a 7 session virtual workshop led by Rabbi Josh Ratner

This exciting series will address the complex features of Jewish peoplehood inherent in our tradition and in our history. Each session will examine new challenges to our unity including nationalism, antisemitism, dual loyalty, and identity politics. Join us as we consider what it means to be a member of the Jewish people, the core values that animate Jewish peoplehood, and contemporary challenges to Jewish unity. We will explore new conceptual frameworks to help sustain and grow the story of our people for a new millennium.

Virtual sessions will include text study and discussion led by Rabbi Ratner in addition to video lectures and roundtable discussions with leading Hartman scholars. Access to digital materials will be provided in advance. Also, enjoy recordings of past sessions to watch at your leisure.
