About this Event

Shel Maala, your favorite online queer Yeshiva, is coming DOWN FROM THE CLOUD for the first time in Philly, to offer a evening of rad learning and sweet community.

Thursday November 20, Rosh Yeshivas Xava and Binya will be in your gay Jewish homeland to lead a study session in collaboration with Tikkun Olam Chavurah:

- Thursday Evening 6:30-8:30pm - Rad Evening of Learning at Germantown Mennonite Church, NW Philly

^Snacks provided! But eat a lil dinner before/after <3

We cannot WAIT to spend time soaking in Torah with y’all


~~~


Alefbet isn't required.

We’ll be studying an amazing piece of Talmud about exile, belonging and home.

Here’s more on the text we’ll be studying:

What is home? Where is our home, and where do we come from? Can we ever truly go back to our source? How do we relate to diaspora in terrible times? The Rabbis thought a lot about these questions, and in this text we'll get to study some of their answers. If you've ever wanted to uncover the beauty of exile and the magic of returning to liberatory roots, this is the class for you

~~~

Accessibility notes:

  • ADA Accessible (full details here)
  • Masks required (full covid policy here), except children under 13. Rapid tests provided.
  • Snacks will account for various dietary restrictions

~~~

Learning will be a mix of full group study and discussion in smaller pairs.

There will be lots of yummy snacks and discussion. If you haven’t been in a physical Talmud learning space before, come and get excited!
