Because our clergy spans different denominations\, every session offers a new perspective\, and you’ll leave with new insight and connections. \nThis is Jewish learning at its most authentic: communal\, challenging\, and open to everyone. \nMonthly classes will be held in person: \n\n3rd Wednesday\, 12:00-1:00pm\nStaenberg Omaha JCC\nLight kosher lunch served at every session\n\nRegister HERE. Registration Required. \nDrop in for one session or join us monthly.
