Kikar 5785

The word kikar means square, circle, and gathering place. That’s our goal: squaring the circle of Jewish teen education through gathering teens for experiential education. We welcome teens in the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades.

This year’s theme is Jewish Ethics. Specifically, we’ll be looking at medical ethics, military ethics, business ethics, and social justice/labor relations.  

You can download the calendar for 5786 here.

You’ll see that in addition to the standard seminars, we’ll have two tiyulim (field trips to Philadelphia and New York City), two Sunday brunch ‘n learns with professors, and two evenings at AJ with me where we’ll join our Adult Education group — parents are welcome to attend any or all of those extras.

Gratz College has approved this class for college credit! For those of you hoping to receive college credit, your attendance is expected as it would be in any other class. In addition to the syllabus linked to above, seminars at Rav Shai Cherry’s home on Tuesday evenings from 7:45 PM to 9:00 PM will include a variety of differentiated snacks and breaks.

Adventures begin September 21!

This education is open to the community!
