Location: Weinstein JCC
FREE and Open to the Community

Global Day of Jewish Learning (GDJL) is an International Day of Study and unity bringing together Jews of all beliefs and backgrounds across the world on the same day. Local rabbis will present topics and facilitate discussions around the theme, Rebuilding: How do we heal ourselves and our relationships? How do we proceed after national tragedies? How have the Jewish People moved forward following times of crisis?

Join us for an exciting opportunity to hear from our featured speaker, Mark
Oppenheimer, who is not only the host of America’s Most Popular Jewish
Podcast, “Unorthodox,” but also the author of the compelling book,
“Squirrel Hill: The Tree of Life Synagogue and the Soul of a Neighborhood.”
Mark’s insights and expertise promise an enriching experience, and we
look forward to sharing this inspiring event with you.
