Two Weeks! January 6-10 & January 13-17, 2019
Sponsored by the Manger Foundation
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.
Our 2018 theme was Beyond Biology: Family, Choice and Belonging
We explored topics such as: Conversion, Intermarriage, Honoring Parents, and The "Rebellious Son" and asked questions such as:
- What are the elements of home and family that create our identities?
- What are different ways of building a family? How does a community integrate different forms of family?
- Do I owe allegiance to my parents and family? What are the boundaries?
- How do we navigate religious lives that might clash with our families?
