Global Day of Jewish Learning will
Celebrate Unity and Diversity
On November 7, 2010, Jews around the world
will share a day of Jewish dialogue and exploration, joining together in
celebration of all that unites us. The conversation that has spanned millennia
will resonate at once in community centers, classrooms, synagogues, and homes
across the globe. This initiative - unprecedented in scale - is underway to
unite Jews from across the globe in celebration of their shared culture, texts
and history. The Global Day of Jewish Learning will be an opportunity for us to
come together, learn together and grow together. On November 7, 2010, Rabbi
Adin Steinsaltz will culminate nearly five decades of groundbreaking work
translating the Talmud, making it accessible to all Jewish people. The Global
Day of Jewish Learning will honor that achievement by bringing together Jewish
communities around the world in a historic, unifying celebration. On that day,
Jews all over the world will come together to in their communities to study
Jewish texts and teaching and to celebrate their shared culture, texts, and
history.Learn more.
Here in our Jewish community, a
community-wide effort under the leadership of Stuart Forman and Catherine
Russell is underway to plan a day of learning for adults and children of all
ages. The Day's activities will also include a festive lunch and a satellite
session with Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz who will address the Jewish communities from
Israel. Classes are being planned for participants of all ages, from elementary
to high school students and adults. For more information and to sign up for the
