| Lishma Jewish Learning Project is launching this fall, Nov 2018! We are convening a community of learners in their 20's and 30's who are excited to share their desire for greater Jewish engagement, who are willing to ask questions of our tradition, and who want to explore how it informs our lives today. We hope you'll be part of it. |
