Join Amy Ripps this summer on Wednesday mornings at 11 a.m. for a march through Jewish history covering the second millennium. We'll begin on June 9 and will run according the schedule below until we end the 20th century on Sept 15. Each class stands alone so you can join us at any time. We also will be recording these sessions so if you miss a "century" you can always catch up by watching the recording! 

A zoom link will be sent with your registration confirmation. In addition, once you register, you will receive a weekly email with a link reminder to make it easier for all.

Coming this Fall 2021

• Rabbi Eric Solomon teaches Pirkei Avot from, Lev Shalem Pirkei Avot, which significantly impacts our understanding of this classic, ancient text.
• Rabbi Jenny Solomon offers a class in Mussar using the book, With Heart and Mind (Morinis). Mussar is a spiritual practice for developing a strong and open heart. Please purchase the book (available at many online sites from $13.50-$20). Rabbi Jenny will also share her screen with the texts.
• Amy Ripps: Jews first came to these shores in 1624 when 24 Jewish refugees from Recife, Brazil, sailed into New Amsterdam — only to be imprisoned by Peter Stuyvesant! We'll begin with these 24 Jews in 1654 and will work our way up to the present day.
