The UnYeshiva’s certificate program in Unbound Judaism is a course of study designed to develop Jewish knowledge, skills, and holy chutzpah! Through ongoing immersion in digital spaces of Jewish learning and unlearning, students will emerge with the confidence to participate in the ongoing project of re-shaping Judaism in our time. 

The students engaged in this program will not gain a one-size-fits-all set of skills. On the contrary, a central component of the program is the co-creation of one’s own learning, in partnership with UnYeshiva faculty. Each student will explore core principles that shape Judaism Unbound’s lens, but they will also have the flexibility to customize their own experience, in order to meet their specific goals, passions, and visions for the Jewish future. NOTE: this is not an ordination program, rabbinic or otherwise.

Students will immerse in four credits of UnYeshiva courses, plus a capstone project. After completing four full credits through course work, every student’s fifth and final credit will be achieved through a capstone project – designed so that every student has the chance to actively apply the learning that they have done in the UnYeshiva to their own lives and communities. Students can pace out their learning over multiple years, or they could pack all of their coursework into one year – whatever works best for each student’s life and schedule.

If accepted, you will be a part of a cohort community as you pursue your certificate in unbound Judaism. This experience will include monthly group gatherings via Zoom, 1-on-1 correspondence (chevruta), and mentorship with a madrich (advisor).

Are you pining for a trans-generational community of Jewish learning and growth, spanning multiple time-zones, featuring a rich diversity of Jewish backgrounds and experiences? A community that is predicated on the ancient Jewish tradition of changing Jewish tradition?
