We create inter-generational learning opportunities through programming for children, families, and adults. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone feels safe to share, question, and grow in their appreciation of our Jewish heritage. Through exploration of Jewish values, ethics, history, and spirituality, participants will develop traditional and creative ways to connect their knowledge about Judaism with the Earth and nature, their environment and communities, other cultures and religions, and history as Americans and as world citizens. Enriching programming is offered by our members and guests, who share their passions. Past sessions have included a photographic tour of Israel by sisters Roberta and Donna Kayne, Columbus Jewish History with Toby Brief, talks by Dr. Jake Boswell on the history of the Jewish National Fund, Mussar Teachings with Cheryl Lubow, Yiddish history and storytelling with Mike Solms and Dr. Merrill Kaplan respectively, and teachings on shmita by urban farmer and educator Jodi Kushins. From Torah and book discussions to hands-on activities, from movies and meals, to meditation and hiking, there is something for everyone. More information is available on our calendar.
