Mark your calendars for Friday evening, March 28 – Sunday morning, March 30, 2025, for an exhilarating weekend of Torah, debate, and learning at WJC! We are thrilled to welcome journalist Abigail Pogrebin and Rabbi Dov Linzer, authors of the new book, It Takes Two to Torah, as our 2025 Scholars-in-Residence. Together, they bring a dynamic partnership that combines deep scholarly insight with engaging contemporary perspectives.
Our weekend will delve into the themes presented by Rabbi Linzer and Ms. Pogrebin through their collaborative work, exploring the Torah with an approach that bridges traditional with contemporary Jewish viewpoints. More than a series of talks, this event will be a vibrant, interactive experience, offering unique insights into the Jewish texts that are both ancient and profoundly relevant today. Join us for a weekend that promises to deepen your understanding and inspire you through thought-provoking discussions and study sessions.
Our scholars will lead and engage us throughout the weekend:
· Come Friday night to hear about the backstory of their unique study partnership.
· Join us again on Shabbat morning as they share thoughts on Torah during services.
· Stay for lunch – and engage in Torah study as they lead us through a Hevrutah-style deep dive into Torah text.
· Come back on Sunday morning and prepare for Passover (two weeks later) with a lively session focused on energizing your own seder experience.
Join us for an exceptional WJC experience!
