Upcoming Shabbat afternoon study sessions:

Come be inspired!

Rabbi Ilana’s observations are sharp, and her approach is gentle. She teaches with a combination of storytelling, textual analysis, and emotional insight.

Shabbat afternoon study sessions include a little singing, small group discussions, a 20-30 minute teaching from Rabbi Ilana, and time for questions.

The atmosphere is casual and comfortable — come and go as you please.

These study sessions honor the work of Complete Picture, a nonprofit working to humanize individuals convicted of non-violent crimes. If you enjoy her study sessions, you can share your appreciation by donating here.
