Manger Winter Learning Seminar

January 7 - 11, 2018 

Program Description | 2017 Sample Shedule

Sponsored by the Manger Foundation

2017 Program Description (2018 forthcoming)

Join Hadar's beit midrash in an immersive week of Torah study, prayer, shared meals and conversation. You'll take part in an honest, dynamic, and multi-level exploration of Jewish texts with passionate teachers and committed peers.

In 2017, much of our learning focused on money. We asked questions such as:

•  What is the Torah's vision(s) of a just economy? 
•  How much should I be willing to spend on doing a mitzvah? 
•  What is the function of tzedakah? Can tzedakah address wealth inequality in our world?
•  What are the responsibilities of employers towards employees?  Employees towards employers?  Do consumers have responsibility to enforce work ethics?
•  To what extent do I own my money? Does God, or do others, make claims on my money? 

 

Learn with Hadar Faculty:

R. Elie Kaunfer, R. Ethan Tucker, R. Aviva Richman, R. Jason Rubenstein, and Dena Weiss.
