Within the Jewish community there are many things that divide us, but Jewish learning brings us together. Our text circles offer participants an opportunity to engage with Jewish textual learning in an intimate and communal setting. Our Talmud, Zohar or Jewish Philosophy groups are conducted monthly (and some weekly), and participants delve deep into our Jewish textual tradition with inspiring teachers and students at their sides. For more information about our text circles, contact Tamar Zaken, Associate Director of HAMAQOM | The Place at Tamar@hmqm.org.
