What’s on the Agenda?
This isn’t someone else’s agenda, it’s yours.Ask your most important questions – about true love, the human psyche, what dreams mean, reincarnation, why bad things happen to good people, abortion according to Judaism, the nature of the soul, what to do about depression, what do Jews believe, why kosher, faith, free will, where was G-d during the Holocaust, what’s Shabbat for, what’s the key to happiness, what about other religions…and anything else on your mind.
Who Comes?
You if you’re between the ages of 15 and 18, you’re female and you’re Jewish. It’s that simple. You don’t need any background in Jewish studies (just some genuine curiosity) and you don’t need to come with a friend because you’re going to make plenty when you’re with us.
