Omaha jewish community Beit Midrash
Wednesdays, 7:30-8:30 p.m.
Join the JFO and members of our community’s clergy for in-depth study using
traditional texts to uncover contemporary issues and values. Embracing our desire to be together and
learn together, this exciting new weekly Beit Midrash
(house of study) will give all of Jewish Omaha the opportunity to
engage in spirited and challenging study on a variety of timely and
thought-provoking topics.
Classes are held weekly at 7:30 pm from October 2019 – May
2020. The year of study will culminate with a Tikkun Leil Shavuot
(evening-long study session). Sponsored by the Jewish
Federation of Omaha, the Beit Midrash will bring us together to
strengthen one another. Drop in for one session, or become a regular
attendee – everyone is welcome. For more information on how this series
was formed, read the
Jewish Press article.
