ScholarStream

 

Following on the success of direct-to-public programming for Tikkun Leil Shavuot and Selihot, and in a continuing effort to help our rabbis and congregations during these trying times, the RA, USCJ, JTS and Ziegler are teaming up to offer ScholarStream, adult education opportunities to all those interested in participating. ScholarStream is a four-part series that will give communities the opportunity to learn from some of the world’s leading scholars and engage deeply with texts and traditions.
