Jewish learning CIRCLES

Deepen your knowledge and gain insight into Jewish values that inspire your work

WHAT ARE jewish learning CIRCLES?

OLAM's Jewish Learning Circle is a unique mini-series that provides staff of partner organizations with a virtual space to explore the Jewish values inherent in their work. Through Learning Circles, partners can gain insight into how these Jewish values connect to their organization's missions, and how they can engage more meaningfully with Jewish funders and communal leaders.

The first Jewish Learning Circle, The Pursuit of Justice in Judaism, launches in November 2024.
