    Since the events of October 7th, we've been hearing the hard questions from rabbis: how can we possibly engage our community members amidst the sheer volume of grief, heartbreak, and anger? How do we show up for our people pastorally, to gather them meaningfully, and to teach Torah?

    Our teams are proud to be partnering for the Atra-IYUN Teaching Lab: Building Community Through the Study of Torah. As Jewish spiritual leaders, we know there’s no better way to deepen relationships and build community than through learning together.

    We bring the content and proven methodology, you bring the people and your passion. 



    Together in this 4-part workshop series, we will learn new techniques for building relationships and tools for deepening communal learning experiences, in preparation to lead IYUN circles in your own communities. We will have the opportunity to access content made for this moment. Sessions will be facilitated by IYUN and Atra faculty.

    Workshop dates: All sessions will run for 90 minutes, 1-2:30pm ET (11am-12:30pm PT)

    • Workshop 1: November 9
    • Workshop 2: November 16
    • Workshop 3: November 30
    • Workshop 4: December 7

    Participants will launch their own IYUN Circles between December 1 - Feburary 1, 2024.

  • The Atra-IYUN cohort seeks to support clergy in designing and launching pedagogically-rich projects to sustainably engage their local community in Jewish living, learning, and relationships—and help shape the community’s future.

  • We recognize that the time demands on Jewish spiritual leaders can be unpredictable. While we hope that participants can join this community for all sessions, we want to encourage clergy to take the time needed to prepare for innovation. Out of respect for your peers in the cohort, we ask that participants make their best effort to attend all sessions, and miss no more than one session.
