Upcoming Study Weekends

March 8-10
Breathing New Life into Reform: Creating Our Identity
This weekend will focus on how we, as Reform Jews, have used creative expression to reflect our Jewish identity and make the Jewish tradition relevant for each generation. We will explore the ways in which we use music, creative writing, and visual arts to shape who we are, and how we live our lives as Jews. Come ready to get your hands dirty as we dive into the topic. No creative experience necessary – just a readiness to explore!

Were Moses’ Tablets iPads or Droids: How Technology is Changing our Jewish Practice
Technology is advancing quicker than ever. What does this mean for Reform Judaism? How do we build community in this new age? What can we learn from the past? During the weekend we will look at how innovative technology is changing the way Reform Jews engage and practice Judaism. Join us as we explore the cutting edge of Jewish expression and consider both its benefits and its drawbacks.
