BINA at the OFJCC includes classes, experiences, and volunteer opportunities. We are open to participants of all backgrounds and religious practices. We offer innovative ways to integrate Jewish traditions and values into contemporary life.
All programming is based on BINA’s three core values: Jewish learning, social justice, and community.
Plague is a timely topic to all of us these days. Jews will also have plagues on the mind when we read the story of the Ten Biblical Plagues in the Book of Shemot over the next couple of weeks and then again during the Passover Seder. The Plagues Project is a series of videos from some of the most prominent scholars, teachers, thinkers, activists, and artists, that showcase the ways that Jews have thought about Plagues – both the Biblical Plagues and plagues throughout history – for the last 3,000 years. This project is part of the continued collaboration between BINA, OFJCC, 929 English and JewishLIVE.
The course meets weekly, and is divided into thematic mini-courses of several weeks at a time. Participants are invited to sign up for a whole mini-course, or for individual classes. The upcoming mini-course is titled “Modern Jewish Philosophy” and it introduces the major philosophical issues and thinkers of the last hundred years.
