Very awesome collection of mini courses from the #Unyeshiva (from #JudaismUnbound) starting very soon.

I'm taking the class "Comix Midrash: Drawing the Orchards (Pardes) of Elul" taught by Rena Yehuda Newman, but I frankly wanted to take all of the classes they were offering. This particular assortment is really cool.

I'm sharing an essay I wrote that has a controversial thesis: that Judaism should welcome and support converts who engage in another tradition's practices.

Along the way, I discuss two past classes from the #Unyeshiva (a school of Jewish learning and unlearning from the folks behind the Judaism Unbound podcast) by Susan Katz Miller and R Esther Hugenholtz, as well as share a fair bit about my own journey.

Very excited to share this full concert by #ElianaLight, a powerful liturgist and musician.

I also had the joy of participating in her "Prayer Unbound" at the #Unyeshiva (the school ran by the #JudaismUnbound folks).

Lastly --- I will mention for my Humanistic Jewish friends - that while her music does focus a lot on the idea of "God" (or rather as she would say "G?d") she does it in a very unconventional way.

I'm very excited about the next round of short courses from the #Unyeshiva (the school ran by the same folks behind the #JudaismUnbound podcast), but especially the class by #Humanistic rabbi Tzemah Yoreh of the City Congregation for #HumanisticJudaism in #NYC!

Sharing this very special episode of #JudaismUnbound, that discusses the #Unyeshiva's certificate program in #UnboundJudaism.

I'm sharing it for two reasons:

1. I'm hoping that many of my friends consider applying for the certificate program, as the application deadline for the second cohort is almost here. My experience is part of the first cohort has been transformational. I would love for more people to have this opportunity.

2. Rena Yehuda mentioned my capstone project that I'm currently working on, a project to train and support draft counselors to be ready to support Jewish conscientious objectors if a draft is called in the USA (but also to be ready to support current Jewish servicemembers who are struggling with issues of conscience)!

I very much appreciate the shoutout!

A new class from the #Unyeshiva that explores the connections between #Judaism and #phish

Sharing this course from The #Unyeshiva (the same folks who do the #JudaismUnbound podcast) It sounds fabulous and would be great way to learn about non-Ashkenazi forms of Jewish practice.

I'm sharing this reflection essay I wrote for a class I took last semester at the #Unyeshiva on the topic of why issues of the gender of "God" might be relevant to Humanistic Jews.

Strongly recommend these classes from the #Unyeshiva (the school from the folks behind the #JudaismUnbound podcast).

Also --- I'm trying to decide what class I'm taking! So hard to decide.

Also one of the teachers is part of the #Fediverse @lexaphus

I finally decided which class I'm enrolling in for the Fall at the #Unyeshiva --- God? Gods? Goddesses? Godexes?: Diverse Theologies in #Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) taught by Tamar Kamionkowski. I'm really looking forward to it.

P.S. For anyone who wants to take their Jewish learning to the next level, I strongly recommend Unyeshiva (started by Dan & @lexaphus at #JudaismUnbound). They have some amazing classes this semester.
