SUMMARY:Hope\, Gratitude\, and Faith
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to join Dr. Erica Brown for a session that braids personal reflections with Jewish texts to address themes of faith\, unity\, pain\, and hope. Her work offers a profound perspective and serves as a meaningful response to the global rise of antisemitism and the complex challenges we are facing today. Erica touches upon what it is like to have feet in the diaspora and a heart in Israel and the dissonances that love at a distance can create. \n  \nAbout our speaker: Dr. Erica Brown is the Vice Provost for Values and Leadership at Yeshiva University and the founding Director of its Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks-Herenstein Center for Values and Leadership. She has written over a dozen books on leadership\, spirituality and the Hebrew Bible. Her forthcoming book is Samson and the Enigma of Strength (Oxford University Press). \n  			\n			\nThis event is the next in a series of events geared toward helping you build resilience and connection in this moment\, brought to you by My Jewish Learning and Kveller\, with the support of UJA-Federation of New York.

SUMMARY:The God of the Bible
DESCRIPTION:The London School of Jewish Studies explores how God is portrayed in the Tanach—as creator\, liberator\, lawgiver\, and more—and asks what these images reveal about the divine “personality.” Drawing on biblical\, talmudic\, midrashic\, medieval\, and modern sources\, the course deepens and broadens understanding of how Jews have imagined and related to God. It also addresses why many Jews feel uncertain about speaking openly about God\, offering tools for more meaningful reflection and spiritual connection.

SUMMARY:Wait! That’s Not in the Bible? Insights and Ideas: Tuesday Night Learning With Gideon Amir
DESCRIPTION:The Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies examines familiar biblical stories that many assume come directly from the text\, such as Abraham breaking the idols or the reason for eating matzah\, and shows how these traditions actually developed through later interpretation. The course explores passages that seem clear at first glance but reveal different meanings on closer reading\, along with texts that are intentionally ambiguous. Participants will consider how Midrash opens multiple paths of understanding and reshapes how the Bible has been read across generations.

SUMMARY:Space Torah: Film Screening and Director Q and A
DESCRIPTION:In 1996\, NASA astronaut Dr. Jeff Hoffman brought a small Torah scroll on board the Space Shuttle Columbia. On Shabbat\, while orbiting Earth\, he read from the book of Genesis: “In the beginning God created heaven and the earth.” \nIt was a moment of unforgettable Jewish history — the first Torah scroll in space — and one that still resonates today\, exactly 30 years later. \nJoin us at My Jewish Learning for a screening of a short documentary about Hoffman and his journey\, “Space Torah” — and then hear from Hoffman himself in an online Q&A!\nThe story shows how family\, educators\, scientific and religious communities can achieve great things and bring our identity to new realms. \nThe production of “Space Torah” was led by director Rob Cooper of Verissima Productions. Since its completion\, the film has been selected for over 40 film festivals worldwide and has won several awards. It has also been used as an educational tool in various settings\, including schools\, universities\, religious institutions\, workplaces and summer camps. 			\n			\nThis event will last approximately one hour\, including the 25-minute film screening. The conversation will be recorded and sent to all registrants. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS:\nDr. Jeff Hoffman made five space flights as a NASA astronaut. He has performed four spacewalks\, including the first unplanned\, contingency spacewalk in NASA’s history (STS 51D; April\, 1985) and the initial repair/rescue mission for the Hubble Space Telescope (STS 61; December\, 1993).\nIn August 2001\, Dr. Hoffman joined the MIT faculty\, where to this day he teaches courses on space operations and space systems design. His primary research interests are in improving the technology of space suits and designing innovative space systems for human and robotic space exploration.\nOver his five space missions\, Dr. Hoffman chose to bring numerous Jewish objects with him. The highlight\, which is featured in the film\, is a small and light Torah scroll that he took with him on his fifth and final mission. \nRabbi Shaul Osadchey has led a distinguished career as a religious leader\, educator\, and advocate for social issues. He was Dr. Jeff Hoffman’s spiritual leader during Dr. Hoffman’s time living in Texas\, while working at NASA. During his 30 years in Houston\, Rabbi Osadchey championed various Jewish and social justice issues. This included traveling to the former Soviet Union to support Soviet Jewish refuseniks\, developing the first AIDS Care Team in the Jewish community\, and launching the Space Torah. He also co-chaired the United Way Campaign for the Homeless\, was the first Jewish President of Interfaith Ministries\, become a Senior Fellow of the American Leadership Forum\, officiated at the first same-sex Jewish marriage ceremony in Houston\, and supported labor issues as an Advisory Board member of the AFL-CIO Union Community Fund.

SUMMARY:Creative Writing on Jewish Themes
DESCRIPTION:Online creative writing workshops with author Shira Nayman \nMany of us have stories we want to tell that relate to our experiences of being Jewish. We feel called to write about personal family history or find ourselves interested in exploring Jewish identity in the modern world. \nIn My Jewish Learning’s new creative writing workshops\, we’re offering a space in which those wishing to write on Jewish themes can come together in community and develop and share their work — in the form of fiction\, creative nonfiction or memoir. Participants will be guided by Shira Nayman\, a clinical psychologist and author of five books on Jewish themes\, as well as essays and short stories. Shira has taught creative writing at Barnard College and Columbia University\, as well as in private workshops and volunteer spaces\, and she is passionate about the cultivation of Jewish identity through the written word in our tumultuous contemporary times. \nWe’re offering two identical workshop groups\, each limited to 12 participants\, and every participant will have the opportunity to workshop their writing with the class. You’ll leave the eight-week class with a trove of new work and a set of writing goals for the future. 			\n			\nStudents will also gain access to our Circle community platform\, which will bring us together to communicate and share work between class sessions. \nNo creative writing experience is required to join in — Shira believes that writing groups flourish when the participants bring different levels of experience to the work. Everyone is an expert in their own search for expression\, which means that in a deep human sense\, we are all at “the same level” and will learn from each other. \nSPRING 2026 WORKSHOPS\nWorkshop enrollment will close once a group has 12 participants. Learn more and register below. \nGroup 1:\n8 Sundays from 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET\, starting March 1\nDates: March 1\, March 8\, March 15\, March 22\, March 29\, SKIP FOR PASSOVER\, April 12\, April 19\, April 26 \nGroup 2:\n8 Wednesdays from 8:00 – 9:30 p.m. ET\, starting March 4\nDates: March 4\, March 11\, March 18\, March 25\, SKIP FOR PASSOVER\, April 15\, April 22\, April 29\, May 6
