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.

Global Day 2012

On Sunday November 18, 2012, 300 Jewish communities across the world will join together for the third annual Global Day of Jewish Learning. The theme of this year’s Global Day and curriculum is Jewish concepts of blessing and gratitude. Click here to register your community today.

Global Day 2011

Global Day 2011 was an astounding success, uniting 250 Jewish communities across 40 countries in a day of Jewish learning. The theme of Global Day 2011 was the unity of the Jewish people, as seen through the Shema prayer. In the words of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, ”For the Jewish people, the Shema is a call, a slogan, a sign of identification and an expression of great emotions. It is a declaration of bond, principles and identity.”

Global Day 2010

The Global Day of Jewish Learning was conceived three 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.
