Sunday, November 9 is the Global Day of Jewish Learning.

On this day, thousands of Jews from around the world will turn their attention to Torah-learning.

Let’s learn together. Now more than ever, we need Torah and we need each other.

What’s the program of study?

Our sages explain that God’s word has seventy faces (Numbers Rabbah 13:15-16).

Accordingly, November 9 will offer you the opportunity to explore different “faces” of the Torah – aspects revealed, respectively, by the poet and the prophet, the philosopher and the storyteller – and presented by five outstanding teacher-scholars:

Registration is free of charge, and the first 50 registrants will receive a breakfast voucher.* Everyone will enjoy coffee and tea service throughout the morning. Dietary laws observed. No outside food please.
