Upcoming Events
Shavuot
Scholar in Residence - Rabbi Aryeh Klapper is Dean of the Center for Modern Torah Leadership and Rosh Beit Midrash of its renowned Summer Beit Midrash program. He is a popular lecturer and author whose ideas and positions influence Orthodox communal policy on issues ranging from tuition, to abuse allegations, to mental health. He is also an internationally consulted posek whose writings on medical ethics, military ethics, and Jewish divorce are cited by both academic and traditional scholars.
Morah Deborah Klapper is a literacy-focused Torah educator who enjoys thinking about big-picture interpretations of Tanach narratives. After many years as a classroom teacher and school administrator, Morah Klapper is now a full-time tutor, teaching adults and children to read and understand the texts of our tradition independently, so they can form their own relationships with Hashem and truly inherit their heritage. Her international tutoring practice ranges in a typical week from alef-bet to Tanach to Talmud to Yoreh Deah. She holds a bachelor's degree from Harvard College and certificate from the Drisha Scholars' Circle. She lives and works in Sharon, MA.

Moshava Alevy: During this time of the counting of the Omer, we count UP towards Shavuot because this is a special period itself. However, when we count the days till the start of Moshava Alevy, we are counting DOWN because we just can't wait for camp to begin! See you in 32 days!
