Join Goldstine Distinguished Scholar Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson for an intimate, in-person Learning Circle that brings people together to explore the questions and issues shaping our lives, our communities, and the Jewish future.
Each gathering will focus on a different topic, using Jewish wisdom as a lens for conversation, reflection, and discovery. Rabbi Artson will help open the conversation, but the experience is designed to be interactive—an opportunity to engage with ideas, ask questions, share perspectives, and learn from one another.
Come as you are and bring your Jewish self. Difficult questions are welcome, different perspectives can be explored, and meaningful relationships can grow. No particular level of Jewish knowledge or learning experience is required.
Participation Requirement
Participation requires your commitment to a minimum household gift of $1,800 to AJU during the current fiscal year.
