class act

Our low-barrier, accessible approach to Jewish education allowed hundreds of people to see Judaism as a value add in their lives. Our core series classes—Basically Jewish, the Jewish Welcome Workshop, and Interfaith Couples Workshop—continued to help Sixth & I’ers build community connections and explore Judaism in more sustained and substantial ways. Next Level, a new class series, offered a safe space to engage in nuanced conversations around difficult subjects such as ethical dilemmas and Israel. Other drop-in style classes approached timely topics through a Jewish lens like reproductive rights, friendship, guilt, gossip, and social media.

With an eye towards helping people rebuild their social circles after a prolonged period of deep isolation, we offered a variety of ways to connect socially including a series of intimate salon-style gatherings, happy hours at locations throughout the city, and the return of our popular trivia night at Wundergarten.
