Did you know the braided Challah on your Shabbat table wasn't originally Jewish, but borrowed from ancient German pagans? Judaism isn't just about abstract ideas. It is a religion you can touch, smell, taste, and hold.

Join us for, "The Secret Life of Jewish Objects" - a 5-part series where we trace the fascinating evolution of five iconic objects—The Scroll, The Candle, The Garment, The Cup, and The Bread—from their biblical origins to their mystical meanings today.

We will explore how the "Showbread" of the Temple—forbidden to all but the Priests—evolved into the Challah we love today. But we won't just study history; we will make it.

This course combines deep learning with hands-on workshops, including:

  • Tying your own Tzitzit knots
  • Rolling beeswax Havdalah candles  A
  • pre-Purim wine tasting
  •  A DIY Matzah bake

Don't just study Jewish history—get your hands on it!
