Foundations of Jewish Life - Thursdays

from $54.00

Thursdays
12:00pm -1:30pm ET/ 9:00am-10:30am PT

Foundations of Jewish Life is a six-session virtual learning series exclusively for Togethering alumni. The program offers a judgment-free introduction to Jewish history, values, and culture, paired with relevant practices you can bring into your everyday life and relationship. No prior knowledge assumed and no single "right way" to be Jewish required. Choose from three available times to fit your schedule, and join fellow Togethering alumni on a path toward the Jew-ish home and life that's authentically yours.

Tuition for this course is offered on a sliding scale because we never want cost to be a barrier. That said, we're asking everyone to pay something. A financial stake, even a small one, tends to deepen commitment to the material and to actually showing up. Choose the amount that reflects your means and the investment you can make, and if none of the tiers below fit, tell us what does by fillin in this short form. All tuition fees will support alumni programming like microgrants, helping you help everyone to gather and learn in ways that match their unique Jewish dreams and needs.

About Your Teacher

Miriam's career spans two worlds: the sanctuary and the start-up. After 13 years as Senior Rabbi at Temple Sholom in Cincinnati, she now serves as Executive Director of Judaism Unbound, a Jewish nonprofit known for its innovative podcasts, the UnYeshiva digital learning center, and original educational content. Miriam helps people find and tell their own stories through Jewish wisdom — exactly what her podcasts do: "Tales of the Unbound," "Door to Door," “Shabbat Unbound,” and "Everyday Mystics." She's also the author of "Beyond the Bindings," a guide for people who learn by doing. Miriam was ordained at HUC-JIR and has spent two decades showing that Jewish tradition and innovation aren't opposites — they're co-conspirators. She loves leading retreats for Togethering, ever inspired by couples seeking to grow their love together. She lives in Cincinnati with her daughters, spouse, and dog, always somewhere between writing, painting, and dreaming up the next big idea.
