Torah in Motion

Torah in Motion Torah in Motion is expanding the horizons of Jewish thought for more than 20 years.

Torah in Motion creates a framework for dialogue among Jews of all ages and backgrounds. Together with some of the Jewish world’s best leadership, program participants examine today’s challenging issues. We initiate a "conversation" – through either personal attendance or electronically – where we can enrich our lives with knowledge and understanding of Judaism’s role in contemporary society. All

our actions – our planning, programs, and materials – are facilitated by the internationally-recognized experts and scholars who comprise our faculty and roster of guest speakers. These brilliant minds come to our communities through both face-to-face and on-line programs which are rooted in:

* The study of Torah
* Jewish law and tradition
* The desire to cultivate spirituality
* Intellectual openness and critical thinking
* Love and respect for all Jews
* The centrality of the Land and State of Israel
* Adherence to the highest ethical standards

We offer learning opportunities through travel as well as daily and weekly thoughts and classes on relevant Jewish themes online and in person

🗓 July 1 · Rebuilding Life After Captivity

🗓 July 8 · Trusting Testimony in Times of Crisis

🗓 July 15 · A Fifteenth-Century Hostage Crisis
