No Reservations: All sessions are first come, first participating.
Adding a session to your calendar is a great way to track what you are interested in but does NOT guarantee your spot. We recommend having a few options during each slot as back-up plans. Thanks in advance for moving to another session if you find a room is full. For help, see Sched’s Attendee Guide.

As you plan, note room capacities (listed with room #, e.g. B204 / 72 = building B, room 204, seats 72) and arrive early to help ensure a seat. Thank you for your gracious cooperation and understanding, and for keeping us all safe by observing venue fire codes.

Are you interested in classical Jewish text study but haven’t felt comfortable enough to check it out? Do you love studying Mikraot Gedolot (Tanach with traditional commentary)? This session is designed to engage people who regularly study in chavruta and also to support those with little or novice Hebrew skills to dive in! The presenter will take you on an interactive, hands-on tour of Sefaria.org and AlHaTorah.org, two websites that publish classical texts and much more! You will have an opportunity to create a source sheet, which is a collection of texts linked together by a question, theme, etc. Bring your laptop or tablet for the most optimized experience. If bringing a smartphone, download the Sefaria app in advance.
