About
The Global Day of Jewish Learning brings the Jewish people together once a year to celebrate our shared Jewish text through community based learning.
The guiding values of the Global Day of Jewish Learning are: fostering Jewish unity, empowering individuals through increased Jewish knowledge, and creating meaningful shared experiences. The theme of this year’s Global Day and curriculum was the unity of the Jewish people, as seen through the Shema prayer. This year’s event was an astounding success, uniting 300 Jewish communities across 40 countries in a day of Jewish learning.
Here is the Global Day 2011 introductory film, screened at events across the globe:
The Global Day of Jewish Learning was conceived two years ago to mark the completion of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz’s monumental translation on the Talmud. Thanks to your astounding level of participation, the inaugural 2010 Global Day was a historic achievement. It reached every corner of the Jewish world and – perhaps, for the first time – brought Jews across the spectrum of beliefs and backgrounds together in a day of study and unity. You then truly went “a step ahead” by calling for an annual event.
Commit today to plan a local Global Day event and be a part of Klal Yisrael – the Jewish people.
