Program Description: "The Joy of Text: An Intimate Look at Learning and Enjoying Jewish Wisdom Through Text Study"
12:30 Passover-Style Box Lunches
1:00 Program
Explore the satisfying terrain of Jewish wisdom through some well-known and loved classic texts. Make a new friend through interactive learning "chevruta style" - discussing text in pairs. As you dive into words of the practical, relevant, and sometimes mystical world of the Jewish sages, you will see how Jewish texts can transform how we think and how we live our lives. Come and be part of the old adage of how pairing two Jews can lead to three opinions. This is an intimate and fun experience of enjoying Jewish wisdom through study.
