With Rabbi Jenna, explore how to approach hope not as a tool to escape, but as a practice of staying present and engaged. Drawing on the wisdom of Rebecca Solnit, Adrienne Maree Brown, and ancient Jewish texts, reflect together on what it means to hope with courage and integrity and how we can imagine new ways forward.

  • Textual Audacity: Talmud for the Progressive Soul with Rav Avigayil Halpern

    Address provided upon registration. , United States

    Each class will be a deep dive into one Talmudic text on a topic relevant to Jews engaged with the Left. We'll use some supplemental materials to inform our reading, but the core of our study will be the Talmud and its commentaries. Everyone is welcome, but the target audience is Jewish people seeking spiritual nourishment as we engage in the work of building a better world, whatever that looks like for you!

    The class time will be split between chavruta (paired independent study, with guidance from me) and full-group discussion. My goal is for the full-group discussion to feel exciting, stimulating, and accessible to people with a wide range of previous Talmud experience, whether this is your first time encountering the Talmud or you learn Gemara regularly. I will strive to match chavrutot based on your learning needs and goals, particularly around preferring to learn in the original language or in translation. Consider inviting a friend who you might like to be your chavruta!

    August 27 marks Raoul Wallenberg Day, Sweden's national day for equal rights and civil courage.

The film earned widespread acclaim in Sweden, winning multiple Guldbagge Awards, including Best Film and Best Director.
