If You Know You Know: Cultural Communication in Genesis 23The way we talk to each other builds cultural affinity and belonging - and that was true in Torah times, too!

We'll buy everyone a cup of tea or a coffee for some cozy evening Torah learning.
Brachot and Hakarat Hatov: Using Jewish Blessings to Recognize What's GoodBrachot, Jewish blessings, are used throughout Torah to name what's good. Brachot are offered by G-d to people, by people to each other, and by people to G-d. Come and learn about how you can use Jewish blessings to help recognize the good and express gratitude.
Embracing Darkness: Torah Wisdom for Longer NightsJoin Rabbi Bobbie Rosenberg to learn about the Jewish wisdom found in the shadows. We'll learn warm Torah for these long winter nights, and come away with a deeper appreciation for the spiritual significance of darkness.
Torah Together: An Evening of Joy, Food, and Wrestling with AngelsCome gather with Ammud: The Jews of Color Torah Academy for a night of creative storytelling, soulful stagecraft, and delicious dinner. We'll learn, laugh, and lift each other up—celebrating the magic of JOC Torah and the truth that Torah belongs to us. Come meet new and old friends as Ammud launches programs in L.A. The memorable evening will be led by Rabbi Sass Brown, Program Director at Ammud, and rabbinical student Rebeca Carrillo, Ammud's Rabbinic Intern.
