Do you want to make the world a better place? Would you like to understand the connection between Judaism and all the things in life that bring you joy? Do you love sports? Are you an artist at heart? Is science your passion? Are you a history buff? Can you level up on any computer game? Do you love pop culture or entertaining others? Join us in Our Tent and discover the connection between all of these and Judaism.
Why have we created Our Tent?
We all have many passions and things in our lives that bring us joy. And Judaism can be a great source of joy as well, however, Judaism is different in one significant way. All the things we love and enjoy, like art, science, books, history, and pop culture are a part of our identity. Judaism, on the other hand, is not one small part of our identity, but rather the lens through which we see all of life, including those things which bring us joy. Through classes in Our Tent, you will discover how Judaism, its teachings, and its values are connected to your passions, and thereby as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.
Our Mission:
