One day every year, over 10,000 people around the world participate in The Global Day of Jewish Learning. In hundreds of synagogues, JCCs, and other communal institutions, Jews of all backgrounds connect with one another through the shared study of our sacred texts. Held annually since 2010, the initiative is inspired by the vision of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz z”l.
NEW IN 2027:
The Global Day of Jewish Learning is aligning with Shavuot — the Jewish holiday all about text study!
Participating communities will receive thoughtfully curated learning materials designed for flexible use before, during, or after the holiday. This new model allows synagogues, JCCs, schools, and communities of all sizes to engage Jewish learning in ways that best fit their local context while still participating in a shared global conversation rooted in Torah, learning, and community.
