Overview

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.

CONNECT with an incredible network of Jews, working together to build bolder, more ambitious, and more meaningful Jewish lives.

Stay tuned for our 2018 theme. 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?

Mechon Hadar, meeting in the West End Synagogue, 190 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10023.
