    Virtual Women's Well Circle for 20s + 30s: Shevat

    JCC Manhattan's monthly Well Circle is intended to be a consistent community where we will bring together the practice of wellness and holiness, with the intention of learning about yourself while cultivating meaningful relationships within your community, and uncovering personal connections to inherited wisdom and rituals.

    Inspired by Rosh Chodesh, the ancient Jewish ritual in which women traditionally gather to mark the new moon/ the first day of each Hebrew month, each gathering will provide a safe space to share, find clarity, and create as a group. The gatherings will be uniquely crafted and inspired by the moon's phases/Jewish month's themes. Learn more and register here.

    Everyday Moral Dilemmas with Rabbi Avi Strausberg

    Wrestle with everyday moral dilemmas, the sorts of which we each encounter all of the time in our lives, through the lens of traditional Jewish texts. In this course at B'nai Jeshurun, we’ll consider questions like: “If and when is it okay to shame someone else for the sake of protecting another,” and “Are there instances in which it is not only permissible to lie but in fact necessary?”

    We’ll pose these everyday moral dilemmas to classic Jewish sources and see what, if any wisdom, they have to offer us when confronted with these questions. In doing so, we’ll attempt to not only answer the dilemmas before us, but suggest a model for what it might look like to turn to Jewish texts for guidance on pressing questions of our times.

    When Things Fall Apart: A Theology Rooted in the Real with Rabbi Aviva Richman

    Our immediate reaction when things go wrong may be to doubt or to turn away from God, to sever the relationship because it feels outside and out-of-place in our real experience. But what if our connection to God is, in fact, rooted in those very experiences. In this three-part series at B'nai Jeshurun, we will study core motifs in texts from classical midrash to hasidut that insist that our relationship to God grow out of, and not in spite of, the reality in which we find ourselves, however “unideal.” Learn more and register here.
