Who studies at Mekom Torah?

For experienced, involved Jewish adults, Mekom Torah creates opportunities for life long connections with learners from all walks of Jewish life. For people whose knowledge of Judaism has not kept up with the intellectual, spiritual, and social depth of their adult lives, Mekom Torah offers access to the grown-up version of our compelling and sophisticated tradition. For non-Jewish members of Jewish families and for people seeking conversion to Judaism, Mekom Torah is a productive entry point to rich Jewish content in a flexible, welcoming context. For Jewish teens who are ready to dig deeper and who are unwilling to accept easy answers to hard questions, Mekom Torah offers study circles organized by age group. The curriculum of these groups is flexible, following the interests of the students to provide a direct encounter between the Jewish tradition and real life. For families in the bar and bat mitzvah years, Mekom Torah provides teaching to help them make the preparation process one that builds deep and lasting Jewish identity for the entire family. There are opportunities for continued family learning as one or more siblings become b’nei mitzvah. back
