Sacred Seasons – A Journey Through the Jewish Year

From the awe of the High Holidays to the freedom of Pesach, from the resilience of Chanukah to the reflection of Tisha B’Av, the Jewish year moves through a powerful cycle of emotion and meaning.

This year’s Winter Seminar invites you to step into that rhythm—discovering how ancient texts, prayers, and traditions illuminate the sanctity of time and the texture of Jewish life.

Through havruta study, interactive classes, and communal reflection, you’ll find new insight in familiar moments and uncover how every festival, fast, and milestone can speak more personally to your own journey.
