Torah & Tea
Picture this: A steaming cup of tea in your hands, a group of incredible Jewish women around you, and a thought-provoking Torah discussion that leaves you inspired, energized, and ready to take on the world. That’s Torah & Tea. What is Torah & Tea? Torah & Tea is a no-fuss, all-heart gathering for Jewish women who crave meaningful conversation, a little soul food, and a warm, welcoming space. Held once a month around Mushka’s dining room table, it’s where wisdom meets warmth, and where friendships flourish as naturally as the tea flows. Why You’ll Love It: A Break from the Daily Hustle – Evenings are packed. Work, family, life- it’s a lot. That’s why Torah & Tea happens during the day, just when you need a breath of fresh air and a moment to reconnect. The Warmth You’ve Been Looking For – It’s not a class, it’s not a lecture- it’s a space. A space where you can ask questions, share ideas, and explore the depth of Jewish wisdom without pretense. Real Conversations, Real Inspiration – We talk about the things that matter. Every session delivers Torah insights you can actually use, helping you navigate life with confidence and clarity.

JLI Summer 2026: Sinai and Civics
SINAI AND CIVICS How Jewish values helped shape America’s founding ideals In time for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this four-session course reflects on the Jewish ethics, ideas, and values that inspired and influenced America’s founders—and that still shape our government and society today. Was it always self-evident that all people are “created equal”? What is the “pursuit of happiness”? What inspired America’s system of checks and balances? And looking ahead, what steps can we take to build a just and united future? (No previous Jewish learning necessary.)
