Orot: Center for New Jewish Learning

Orot: Center for New Jewish Learning Orot: Center for New Jewish Learning—where you will find a personal connection to Torah study as a window into meaningful and intentional living.

As a bayit (home), Orot is a warm and welcoming refuge for Jews of all stripes, characterized by intellectual honesty and rigor, emotional intimacy, spiritual vibrancy, and embodied presence. As a place of midrash—learning, seeking, excavating, interpreting, wrestling with, and rereading Jewish text—Orot empowers you to use the text to more skillfully read and shape the text of your own life. It o

pens a window into the complexity and richness of living, holds a mirror to your soul, and encourages you to take hold of the tradition as a lens for intentional ethical and spiritual growth. Combining traditional modalities such as partnered study (chevruta) and lecture (shiur) with mindfulness, movement, and the arts, Orot celebrates multiple entry points into our tradition and a variety of tools for breathing new life into it. As a center for avodah (spiritual practice), Orot provides you with concrete tools for cultivating transformative habits of body, heart, and mind. These open a window into greater compassion and wisdom in relationship with text, self, community, and the world.

I am so looking forward to facilitating this cohort of Peaceful Parent in partnership with IJS coming up in January. After six years of offering this powerful program to parents, I know the impact it can have on families. When I run into Peaceful Parent alums - some who took the course back when it first began - they share with me the ways in which they still use the teachings and practices shared in the program and the ways it which they have helped to bring calm, connection, compassion, and love into their families' lives.
If you are a parent - of any age or stage - looking for support and skills to strengthen your parenting life, I hope you can join me.

Join us for our six-session parenting course with Orot, designed to help you show up with more calm and connection, rooted in Jewish wisdom and mindful practice.
