MicroTorah
15 minutes a week — time and place of your choosing. No background knowledge necessary.
Big ideas, small time commitment
MicroTorah pairs you with Rabbi Mendel or Mussie for a weekly 15-minute, one-on-one learning session — time and place of your choosing. No background knowledge necessary. It's short enough to fit between classes, yet substantive enough to meaningfully shape your Jewish identity and perspective.
Explore Jewish values and ethics, the soul's journey, Judaism on leadership, Israel, the concept of being chosen, and our responsibility to the world — all at your own pace, with a consistent partner.
