According to Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson
(The Tzemach Tzedek

break through all barriers and soar aloft

The Akedah Project explores the story of the Binding of Isaac (“akedah” means “binding” in Hebrew), which is one of the most confounding narratives in the Bible. Traditionally, the Akedah is chanted in synagogue on the second day of Rosh Hashanah. Scholars, rabbis, artists, teachers, poets, and readers have tried to make sense of this story for millennia, which has given us a range of lenses through which we can read it, even as we bring the new questions, ideas, and perspectives that come with every new generation of readers.
The Akedah Project brings some of the most prominent scholars, teachers, thinkers, activists, and artists to investigate and present the story in their own way. Here you will find more than 30 videos, each coming to the Akedah from a different angle. If you like what you see here, The Akedah Project is just the beginning. We believe that a plurality of voices can be brought together to explore the vast canon of Jewish literature. Tradition tells us that the Torah has “seventy faces,” and we look forward to exploring them with you.

This is a series of shiurim designed to explore some of the big ideas that form the foundation of Jewish life, practice, and spirituality. Through understanding these essential, but seldom explicitly articulated concepts, seekers at any stage of their journey through Judaism will be better able to engage with Jewish texts and traditions and will find more value in them. Our guide will be Rabbi Arthur Green's book "Judaism's 10 Best Ideas," a short and easily accessible worth that learners are strongly encouraged to pick up and read for themselves. Each of Rabbi Green's chapters will serve as the jumping off point for learning and discussion of the sources that he cites and how of how we can discover these Jewish ideas in our lives.

A commentary on selected passages—those with significant gender implications where the RJPS translation (a/k/a THE JPS TANAKH: Gender-Sensitive Edition, 2023) differs from the NJPS translation (TANAKH, 1962, 1967, 1985, 1999). An edited version of working notes created during the preparation of RJPS. Now that the Torah has been published (Oct. 2, 2023), my goal is to continue with Genesis — and stay just ahead of the weekly Torah portion. For an overview, see the link below. See also my “Commentary on the Functions and Rendering of אִישׁ” on this site, for many instances that likewise have gender implications. (Disclaimer: The scholarly views expressed in these comments are mine alone; I do not purport to speak for The Jewish Publication Society or its staff.)
Shedding some more light on the distinctive renderings in the RJPS translation (2023). The focus here is on ancient Hebrew conventions that differ from English conventions. Readerly understanding can be improved when certain things that went without saying in the source text are made more explicit, either in the translation itself, or the footnotes, or in commentary. Because these conventions may have gender implications, many entries here are listed also in “Commentary on Gender Choices in the RJPS Torah.” (Both commentaries are being constructed a little at a time.)
A commentary in progress, on many of the phrases that differ in the RJPS translation (a/k/a THE JPS TANAKH: Gender-Sensitive Edition, 2023) compared to its base translation, NJPS (a/k/a TANAKH, 1962, 1967, 1985, 1999), including its footnotes. This is an edited version of working notes created during the preparation of RJPS. Thus far, more than 300 comments have been issued. (Disclaimer: The scholarly views expressed in these comments are mine alone; I do not speak for The Jewish Publication Society or its staff.) For the book’s preface, see
below.
Edited version of working notes created during the preparation of the RJPS translation of the Tanakh (published in 2023 by The Jewish Publication Society). Discusses the functions of the noun אִישׁ, on its gender ascriptions, and on why changes were made (or not) to the NJPS base translation. Only the passage’s plain-sense meaning is considered. ¶ Ultimately, this commentary will consist of more than 500 entries on instances whose rendering differs from the NJPS base translation, or about 1 in 4 of all instances of אִישׁ. Thus far, more than 200 comments have been issued, covering the Torah, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and beyond. ¶ These notes presuppose an orientation to אִישׁ as a situating noun, as described in the document linked below, pp. 11–16. (Disclaimer: The scholarly views expressed in these comments are mine alone; I do not purport to speak for The Jewish Publication Society or its staff.)

JEWISH WOMEN, AND OUR COMMUNITIES AS A WHOLE, NEED GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF HALACHOT PERTAINING TO WOMEN.
Halacha is a guide for living, rich in nuance and alive to its adherents. It is responsive to religious intuitions and spiritual aspirations. It is much more than a black or white bottom line. Deracheha presents Halacha accurately and respectfully, in a woman’s voice. We explore a range of halachic opinion, leaving room for each reader to find her (or his) place within Halacha.
בדורנו הולך וגדל הצורך בהעמקת הלימוד של מצוות הנוגעות לנשים, הן לנשים והן לכלל הציבור.
אנו מאמינים כי הבנה מעמיקה של עולם ההלכה מובילה למחויבות הלכתית רבה יותר ותורמת להעלאת רמת השיח ההלכתי בציבור.
ההלכה מורה לנו את הדרך הנכונה לחיות. היא לא מתבטאת רק בכללים של מותר ואסור, היא חיה ועשירה, קשובה ודינמית, והיא מתכתבת עם שאיפות רוחניות ועם המציאות.
דרכיה מציג את ההלכה כפי שהיא, בצורה מדויקת ומכבדת, מתוך נקודת מבט נשית.
באתר אנו פורשים מגוון נקודות מבט הלכתיות בצורה ברורה ויסודית, כדי לאפשר לכל לומד ולומדת למצוא את מקומם.
המטרה שלנו אינה לפסוק או לשכנע, אלא להגדיל תורה ולהאדירה על ידי הנגשת ההלכה והענקת הידע התורני לכל דורש ודורשת.

Rabbi Irving (Yitz) Greenberg serves as the President of the J.J. Greenberg Institute for the Advancement of Jewish Life (JJGI) and as Senior Scholar in Residence at Hadar. Rabbi Greenberg was ordained by Beth Joseph Rabbinical Seminary of Brooklyn, New York and has a PhD in history from Harvard University. He has had a long and notable career in the service of the Jewish people. He served in the rabbinate, notably at the Riverdale Jewish Center in the 1960s. He served as professor and chairman of the Department of Jewish Studies of City College of the City University of New York in the 1970s. Together with Elie Wiesel, he founded CLAL: The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership and served as its president until 1997.CLAL offered pluralistic Jewish learning for Jewish communal leadership and programs of intra-faith dialogue for rabbis of every denominational background. From 1997 to 2008, he served as founding president of Jewish Life Network/Steinhardt Foundation which created such programs as birthright Israel and the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education.
Rabbi Greenberg was one of the activist/founders of the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry in the movement to liberate Russian Jewry. He was a pioneer in the development of Holocaust education and commemoration. When Elie Wiesel served as chairman of the President’s Commission on the Holocaust, Rabbi Greenberg served as its (Executive) Director. The Commission recommended and drew the blueprint for the creation of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on the National Mall in Washington. He served as the Museum’s chairman from 2000-2002.
He is a leading Jewish thinker and has written extensively on post-Holocaust Jewish religious thought, Jewish-Christian relations, pluralism, and the ethics of Jewish power. In his book, Interpreters of Judaism in the Late Twentieth Century, Professor Steven T. Katz wrote: “No Jewish thinker has had a greater impact on the American Jewish Community in the last two decades than Irving (Yitz) Greenberg.” In his new book, The Triumph of Life (forthcoming), he argues that the Holocaust and the Jewish assumption of power in creating the state of Israel are the beginning of a new era in Jewish history. Together, these two events usher in a third stage of Jewish religion.

This Gender, Torah and Tradition project is part of the JTS Hendel Center for Ethics and Justice and funded by an anonymous donor. It includes 22 Fellows from across JTS' five schools, alumni in positions of leadership throughout the Jewish community, board members, faculty and adjunct faculty from JTS' Rabbinic Literatures and Cultures department.
Over the course of ten months, we met regularly in small groups to examine how an attentiveness to gender influences the study of our texts and traditions.
Each of us chose to study texts that we have struggled with at some point in our teaching or professional careers or as students thinking about how to find meaning in them.
We were all searching to develop a new language of interpretation that would enable us as communal educators and leaders to critically and creatively engage traditional texts that are patriarchal, misogynist, and heteronormative.
We created safe spaces to bring our emotions, struggles, worries, and religious spirits to the endeavor. We explored rabbinic texts in comparison to the world in which we live in order to think not only about what we find problematic in the Talmud, but also to locate points of inspiration.
We initiated this project because we think it is key to the growth of the kind of gender equity necessary for nourishing our religious selves.
We are committed to forming and sustaining communities that value respect, care, and kindness. In this collection you will find some of the best of what we discussed together.
We encourage others to create similar study groups devoted to teaching across differences and write essays containing curricular ideas intended to enhance our understanding of one another and ourselves.

Jewish Interactive (Ji) is a non-profit dedicated to enabling schools, educators and parents to deliver Jewish and Hebrew education using modern tools.
The 21st Century has seen a dramatic increase in the number of books published on practical halakha. As a result, Halakhic observance has never been more accessible. But how does increased commitment to halakhic detail accomplish its goal of personal and ethical refinement? Halakhic practices are meant to be spiritual entry points for divine encounters. Commitment to Jewish ritual should mold one's character and help facilitate a life guided by divine ideals. In fact, adherence to Jewish law without a parallel understanding of the meaning behind the law runs the risk of transforming halakha into a formulaic set of rules without any larger spiritual vision. Jewish Law as a Journey is a valuable companion to published works of practical halakha. It explores virtues and ideals foundational to daily halakhic practice. Moreover, it offers a systematic exploration of the mitzvot one encounters in a given day and the transformative religious messages that underlie them.

I produced this collection of three source sheets on kashrut as a self-study resource for students taking an introductory course on Jewish texts as part of their university degree in Religious Studies. It is therefore aimed at an audience with little to no prior understanding of Judaism.
The sheets in this collection assume a basic knowledge of the main textual sources (Torah, Talmud, later commentaries), and offer
(a) practice in reading different kinds of Jewish text and perceiving the relationship between various commentaries and
(b) a very basic introduction to the key principles of kashrut, with no assumption of any prior knowledge or understanding of this area of study.
Each sheet contains a number of questions meant to either check comprehension or encourage further reflection.

The Megillah Project is a collection of more than 30 videos, each offering a unique perspective on The Book of Esther.
The Book of Esther is traditionally read on the holiday of Purim. In synagogues, it often chanted to a special melody and read from a scroll—megillah is the Hebrew word for scroll—and even though there are other scrolls, Jews often refer to The Book of Esther as "The Megillah." The Book of Esther is indeed a unique text in the canon of Jewish literature, opening its content to multiple interpretations. We have gathered here a collection of perspectives on this rich text, bringing together scholars, rabbis, artists, teachers, poets, and readers to shed light on The Book of Esther from a wide variety of disciplines and sources of knowledge.
We believe that a plurality of voices can be brought together to explore the vast canon of Jewish literature. Tradition tells us that the Torah has “seventy faces,” and we look forward to exploring them with you.

Forgive and forget. Turn the other cheek. Don’t hold a grudge. Be the bigger person. We continually ask victims to move on and avoid further confrontation. But the ethos of forgiveness-above-all often lets perpetrators off the hook without accountability, or even a coherent understanding about what repair and amends might look like.

Five Dimensions of the book of Esther:The Big Picture Rabbi Yossi Yaffe Explore the Book of Esther through the historical, midrashic, symbolic, mystical, and Chassidic lenses. Five classes, five different approaches. *The Persian word for “orchard” is Pardes. The term, sometimes also rendered PaRDeS, is an acronym formed from the initials of the following four traditional approaches to Torah interpretation: • Peshat (פְּשָׁט) – "surface" ("straight") or the literal (direct) meaning. • Remez (רֶמֶז) – "hints" or the deep (allegoric: hidden or symbolic) meaning beyond just the literal sense. • Derash (דְּרַשׁ) – from Hebrew darash: "inquire" ("seek") – the comparative (midrashic) meaning, as given through similar occurrences. • Sod (סוֹד) – "secret" ("mystery") or the esoteric/mystical meaning. The Chassidic approach is seen as the fifth dimension that reveals the unity in all of the above approaches and is an expression of the soul of the Torah.

My eldest just turned four and I am excited to prepare for Passover and put together a child-friendly seder! As a young child, I remember enjoying Passover but also being overwhelmed by certain aspects of the Passover story, like the lessons from The Four Children. In an effort to make sure I don’t leave my own children with unanswered questions, I’ve compiled sheets to highlight Passover’s teachings in a way that is both meaningful and accessible to children.

Source sheets related to the holiday of Pesach and the Mishnah
Like the Haggadah text itself, the photographs of Zion Ozeri reflect the essence of Jewish connection – an unbreakable bond with the past, with the customs, beliefs, and traditions that have sustained us, and with an almost tangible sense of Jewish peoplehood. These sheets pair Ozeri’s images with key Haggadah texts to help illuminate both. The photographs on these sheets are not mere illustrations; they are visual commentaries – “texts” in their own right – that speak to, expand on, challenge, and re-contextualize the words that have been so carefully handed down through the generations.
Pirkei Avot with biographies of each rabbi
Pirkei Avot is a Mishnaic tractate focused on moral and ethical teachings. It stands out from the rest of the Mishnah, which is largely a legal work, and is full of the wisdom of the sages, passed down from one generation to another. In the Image pairs each Mishnah in Pirkei Avot with an image and a number of thought-provoking questions. Learners will discover the wisdom of Pirkei Avot and its relevance to our own complicated times, and explore these texts through the lens of accomplished photographer, Zion Ozeri. These sheets also exist in Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew, and French.
"The Place of All Possibility" is a paradigm-shifting work that reframes the whole of Torah as a contemporary guidebook for creativity.

Putting spiritual wisdom in conversation with contemporary disciplines of art therapy, liberation theology, and creativity research, this essential book invites us all to rediscover our place in a world of mutual thriving. Packed with practical exercises to inspire your creative practice, "The Place of All Possibility" is for all people—from any tradition or none—who want to seed a world of imagination, abundance, and joy.
We are all created creative.

Why Star Wars? Well, Master Yoda was my first rabbi - the first to describe something I understood to be a spiritual truth. The films are important to me not just because of nostalgia, but because they facilitated an aspect of spiritual growth for me.
These shiurim are love letters. I'm interested in teaching the commonalities between Star Wars and Jewish learning because I care deeply about both. One is "real" and the other is "fantasy," but they're both mythologies. That is, they are frameworks for finding and making meaning. If one is already more familiar, let it serve as a pathway into the other.

During the holiday celebrations of Simchat Torah and Shavuot, teams of four to six young men and women visit communities across the United States, Canada and Europe to teach Torah classes, lead singing and dancing, meet with synagogue youth and create a fun and spirited yom tov experience.

Since there are actually two Talmuds, the Babylonian and the Jerusalem Talmud, “the Talmud says” is only part of the story. In fact, the Talmud Bavli and Yerushalmi feature many of the same narratives, but their respective tellings are unique. Sometimes the differences between the two are readily apparent. At other times, they are much more subtle, but no less significant. This collection highlights several of these parallel stories and invites you to notice and reflect on the differences between them. Sefaria is grateful to de Gruyter GmbH for making these resources available.

לאחר נפילת ברקאי במבצע "צוק איתן" בחרנו, חבריו של ברקאי, להקים את בית המדרש החברתי. הפועל בסיוע של עמותת כל ישראל חברים (כי"ח).
בית המדרש מגלם את הערכים בהם האמין ברקאי ואשר לאורם פעל בדבקות – חיבור בין קבוצות שונות בחברה הישראלית, שיח מכבד במאור פנים ובאהבה, לימוד תורה ועשייה חברתית. ערכים אלו באו לידי ביטוי באופן משמעותי בכל בחירה ומעשה של ברקאי.

אסופה מגוונת של דפי לימוד לליל שבועות
סוגיית סרבנות הגט נמצאת על פרק יומה של החברה היהודית בישראל מזה שנים רבות. מאחר ולבית הדין הרבני סמכות בלעדית בכל הקשור לנישואין וגירושין במדינת ישראל, הרי שהליכי הגירושין המשפטיים בארץ נעשים על פי ההלכה היהודית. במצב הנוכחי החשש מפני ‘גט מעושה’ שלא ניתן על פי רצונם המלא של הגבר או האישה, יוצר מצבים של עיגון – קרי עיכוב מתן הגט על ידי הצד שאיננו מעוניין בכך, או שמבקש להפעיל לחץ באמצעות סרבנות הגט לקבלת תנאים טובים יותר בפירוקו של התא המשפחתי.
מטרתו של ‘הסכם לכבוד הדדי’ למנוע אפשרות של סרבנות גט באמצעות הסכם בין בני הזוג המתחייבים זה לזו מתוך אחריות וכבוד הדדי. באסופה זו, דפי מקורות על סוגיות הליבה של נישואין וגירושין, אשר מטרתם להנגיש ללומד את אבני היסוד המעצבים את מוסד הנישואין והליכי הגירושין במסורת היהודית, ואת פס הקול אשר הביא לניסוחו של הסכם קדם הנישואין.

דפי לימוד לליל שבועות
חוק לישראל הוא מערך לימוד יומי הכולל קריאת פסוקי תורה, נביאים, וכתובים, לימוד פרק משנה, וקטעים מהגמרא, מספר הלכה ומספר הזוהר. סדר הלימוד מבוסס על מה שנהג האר"י (רבי יצחק לוריא, אבי שיטת ״קבלת האר״י״ שחי במאה ה-16 בצפת) לומר בחזרתו מתפילת שחרית, כמתואר בספר “פרי עץ חיים” של הרב חיים ויטאל. סדר הפסוקים וקטעי המשנה והגמרא כפי שנהוג היום הודפס לראשונה על ידי רבי יצחק בן ברוך, ולסדר זה הוסיף החיד"א (רב חיים יוסף דוד אזולאי) קטעי הלכה ומוסר באמצע המאה ה-18.

רק 200 מטרים מפרידים בין קברו של רבי יהודה הנשיא- עורך המשנה ומראשי חכמי תורה שבעל פה, לבין קברו של אלכסנדר זייד – אבי השמירה העברית ומחדש רעיית הצאן העברית, אבל 200 המטרים האלו מסמלים מתח של מלחמת תרבות בין עולם הספר לבין עולם האדמה.
מטרת אסופות דפי הלימוד האלו היא ליצור 'שלום' בין עולם הרוח לבין עולם האדמה, לחבר בין "שמים" ל"ארץ" לבנות "סולם" מוצב ארצה אבל שראשו מגיע השמימה.

מדרשת הוא אתר אינטרנט שהוקם על ידי ארגוני בתי המדרש הישראלים בשנת 2008.
מנחות ומנחים מבתי המדרש הפלורליסטיים בישראל (וגם אחרים) העלו לאתר דפי לימוד בית מדרשיים, הכוללים מקורות מגוונים מארון הספרים היהודי, שאלות לדיון והנחיות למנחים. דפי הלימוד פתוחים ונגישים לכל המעוניין, ונעשה מאמץ מיוחד להתאים את התכנים גם ללומדות וללומדים מתחילים.
באתר התקבצו אלפי דפי לימוד מגוונים מאוד, שהפכו לחלק מכלי העבודה האפשריים של מנחים ומורים ויצרו יחד מפגש שוויוני של דעות, גישות ופרשנויות, מאגר עשיר של קולות שמתוכו אפשר לבחור את הקולות המתאימים לכל אדם בכל מקום.
כיום 'מדרשת' הוא חלק מאתר ספריא, והמאגר הייחודי שלו ממשיך ללוות את עולם בתי המדרש בישראל.
We at Midreshet believe that through the study of ancient and contemporary sources of Jewish wisdom in innovative and challenging ways, individuals can examine, define and express their identities – personal, communal, Jewish and Israeli. This process can lead to the reconcilement of conflicted attitudes and the establishment of a personal relationship with text, tradition and culture. Through active participation, everyone becomes an interpreter, student and teacher

העבודה היא על כל ששה סידרי משנה כולל המסכתות שיש עליהם גמרות
לכבוד חג השבועות בחרנו כמה מאותם מקורות שמבטאים את הרוח של ספריא. ביקשנו מאנשי רוח, אמנות ודעת להאיר ולחדש את הזוית שלהם לגבי אותם המקורות.
פרקי אבות: בתמונות.
'פרקי אבות' הינם מסכת במשנה, הידועה גם בשם 'מסכת אבות', העוסקת בהוראת מוסר ומידות טובות. בניגוד לשאר מסכתות המשנה, העוסקות בעיקרן בעניינים משפטיים, מסכת אבות מכילה אוסף עשיר של חוכמת חז"ל, שהועבר מדור לדור. פרקי אבות: בתמונות, מחבר תמונה ומספר שאלות מעוררות מחשבה לכל משנה במסכת. הלומדים נחשפים לחוכמת מסכת אבות ולאקטואליות שלה לסוגיות מורכבות בימינו, ובוחנים מקורות אלו מנקודת מבטו של הצלם רב המוניטין, ציון עוזרי. דפי מקורות אלו זמינים גם בשפות אנגלית, ספרדית, פורטוגזית וצרפתית
דברי תורה על פרשת השבוע
'שאלה' היא שו"ת הלכתי אינטרנטי של מדרשת מתן. משיבות ההלכה נותנות מענה בע"פ ובכתב בקרב קהילותיהן, בבית המדרש ובקהילה הוירטואלית. באתר ספריא תוכלו למצוא תשובות מפורטות לשאלות בכלל תחומי ההלכה יחד עם כל המקורות הנלווים.
לוח השנה העברי כולל מחזור בן שש שנות מעשה ולאחריהן שנה של "שבת הארץ"- שנת שמיטה, "השבת של השנים".
מחזור זה מציג בפנינו דגם ייחודי של חברה המחוברת לאדמתה ומחויבת לכלל חלקיה שאחת לשבעה שנים זונחת את המירוץ לטובת ערבות הדדית. מתוך רצון ששנת השמיטה תהייה שנה של חיבור ותיקון לעם ולארץ "שמיטה ישראלית" מבקשת להביא ערכים של ערבות, קהילתיות ואחריות חברתית-סביבתית לציבוריות הישראלית.
בשנה האחרונה ידעה החברה בישראל טלטלות ציבוריות, חברתיות, כלכליות, בריאותיות ובטחוניות ויותר מתמיד השמיטה דורשת מאיתנו תיקון, ריפוי ואחווה.
זהו מקבץ דפי לימוד ומערכי שיעור לקראת שנת השמיטה.
ספר "הזוהר", שהופיע בנסיבות מסתוריות בימי הביניים, הפך מאז בהדרגה לספר הספרים של הקבלה, ולנציג המובהק ביותר של תורת הסוד היהודית בארון הספרים היהודי. עולמו הנסתר והצפון של ה"זוהר" מבקש לגעת במסתרי הבריאה, בסודות האלוהות, במכמני האדם – ולהציג השקפות חדשות כמעט בתחומים רבים של המחשבה (והדמיון).
באסופה זו של "בית אביחי" עשרה מפגשי לימוד עם ד"ר אבישי בר אשר בהם נצלול אל המסתורין של ספר הזוהר; נתוודע אט-אט לתכונותיו של הספר, נקרא בו יחד ונרכוש כלים ראשוניים להסרת השכבות שעוטפות את הסודות. העיון יתמקד בזוהר על פרשת משפטים ("סבא דמשפטים"), שנמסרת מפיו של זקן אלמוני ומלומד ועוסקת בדרכי הסרת המסווה מעל המסתורין שבתורה; על הכרת סודות האלוהות; ועל גילוי סתרי הנפש וגורל הנשמה.
ד"ר אבישי בר אשר מרצה בחוג למחשבת ישראל באוניברסיטה העברית בירושלים. מחקריו עוסקים בפרקים שונים בתולדותיה של ספרות הסוד היהודית.
