The Global Day of Jewish Learning brings the Jewish people together once a year to celebrate our shared Jewish text through community based learning. The guiding values of the Global Day of Jewish Learning are: fostering Jewish unity, empowering individuals through increased Jewish knowledge, and creating meaningful shared experiences. The fourth annual Global Day of Jewish Learning will be held on Sunday, Nov 17, 2013. The theme of the day and curriculum is Creating Together: Jewish Approaches to Creativity and Collaboration. The Global Day is a project of the Aleph Society and Rabbi Adin Steinzaltz.

 

Global Day provides ready-made lesson plans for adult, middle-school, elementary, and very young learners. Join Jews in six continents as we study Jewish texts relating to this year's theme: Creating Together, Jewish Approaches to Creativity and Collaboration. This is an incredible chance to create a meaningful experience for your learners - one which will be shared with Jews around the world.
