Winter Zman

“With All Your Everything”: Paths in Avodat Hashem

Among the most central themes of Judaism, Avodat Hashem, or worship, offers a variety of pathways to serving God, from the synagogue to the home and everything in between. We worship God when we pray, or when offering sacrifices in the Temple, but we can also accomplish this in our everyday life, through mundane activities.

Drisha’s immersive, two-week long Winter Zman will explore worship in all of its facets. Morning Gemara Shiurim will explore themes of Avodat Hashem in Shema, the Amidah, and beyond, while afternoon classes will study worship through biblical and philosophical lenses, accompanied by virtual evening lectures open to the community.

For college, graduate, and rabbinical students and professionals, adults of all genders and text study backgrounds.
