Our Kollel theme for this year is: "A Jewish Response to Modernity"
Our prayer book tells us that “We are a people in whom the past endures, in whom the present is inconceivable without moments gone by.” We are a people who constantly strive to figure out how we should move forward in this world, but we do so in relationship with what our past has been. This year our Kollel will be split into trimesters focused on three modern topics that we have also wrestled with throughout time.

The Fall and Rise of Anti-Semitism
• April 9 ~ Anti-Semitism; Is It Good for the Jews? ~ Led by Rabbi Bennett Miller
It has been said that what is bad for the Jews can also be good for the Jews, but can the same be said for this reemergence of anti-semitism? Join us as we discuss the new face of anti-semitism and how we as Jews are dealing with it.
