Sinai Scholars Society Courses

Examine the core elements of our vast, complex heritage from a modern Jewish perspective in this eight-session course, which covers Jewish thought, literature and practice.

Explore in four lessons the four major components that sustain and shape Jewish life: our book, our food, our bodies and the cycle of life.

Rohr Jewish Learning Institute’s “You Be the Judge,” puts you in the driver’s seat as you question, discuss and argue real Beit Din (court system of Jewish Law) cases using primary source texts from Talmud.

Pulsing with energy and mystery since the dawn of time, Israel has captured our imagination throughout history. In this course, we examine what Israel was meant to be and what it means to us today.

This six-session course from the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute investigates Tanya, the fundamental text of Chassidic thought. Discover new strategies for overcoming obstacles to progress with consultation from Tanya’s author, Rabbi Shneur Zalman.

This empowering, six-session course offers a revolutionary outlook on life, culled from the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory.
