An Evening of Radical Talmud: Shel Maala Comes to Philly

Shel Maala, your favorite online queer Yeshiva, is coming DOWN FROM THE CLOUD for the first time in Philly, to offer a evening of rad learning and sweet community.

Thursday November 20, Rosh Yeshivas Xava and Binya will be in your gay Jewish homeland to lead a study session in collaboration with Tikkun Olam Chavurah:

- Thursday Evening 6:30-8:30pm - Rad Evening of Learning at Germantown Mennonite Church, NW Philly

^Snacks provided! But eat a lil dinner before/after <3

We cannot WAIT to spend time soaking in Torah with y’all

~~~

Alefbet isn't required.

We’ll be studying an amazing piece of Talmud about exile, belonging and home.

Here’s more on the text we’ll be studying:

What is home? Where is our home, and where do we come from? Can we ever truly go back to our source? How do we relate to diaspora in terrible times? The Rabbis thought a lot about these questions, and in this text we'll get to study some of their answers. If you've ever wanted to uncover the beauty of exile and the magic of returning to liberatory roots, this is the class for you
