Rabbi Gamliel: Breaking Walls, Opening Doors

Monday June 22, 2026 10:45am - 11:45am EDT

Tyvola

Join us as we come together to learn through one of the most human, unsettling, and hopeful stories in the Talmud: The Tale of Rabbi Gamliel. Together, we will dig into a classic text and use it as a mirror for our own work—asking hard questions about who feels welcome, who is kept at the margins, and what we gain and lose when access is tightly controlled. This session assumes curiosity, not expertise, bringing together an accessible, text-rooted conversation that connects ancient debate to lived communal reality. Expect thoughtful learning, honest reflection, and practical insight for anyone committed to building vibrant, inclusive Jewish life.
