Azara

Azara is creating a culture of Torah learning in the UK. We want to open the world of Torah to people of all denominations, genders, and backgrounds.

“It’s inspiring to watch such committed and excited participants throw themselves into a month-long experience.”

Whatever you can give this Chanukah will go towards making sure the beit midrash stays open for everyone, no matter who they are.

We are living in dark and uncertain times. To navigate this moment, we need the light of Torah—both to sustain us, and to grant us the understanding we need for the future. We are asking for your support so that we can provide accessible Torah to the UK Jewish community.

A non-denominational yeshiva opens in Scotland, inspired by models in US and Israel https://t.co/Jh9IyGSHBf

[Azara @AzaraUK]

We're proud to follow in the footsteps of @LimmudUK in providing space for cross-communal learning, where teachers and students of all denominations and none are able to engage with the text on their own terms.

[Azara @AzaraUK]

So wonderful to be opening the beit midrash to participants from across the Jewish community!

[The Jerusalem Post @Jerusalem_Post]

The opening of Azara signifies that a growing network of institutions committed to non-denominational Jewish study now has a foothold in a new continent. Yeshivas such as the egalitarian Hadar in New York City.

Another afternoon of learning - plus preparing to deliver Community Beit Midrash sessions - for Azara participants.

"The alef has panache." A number of our students are spending the first half of the afternoon delving into 2500-year-old letters in Aramaic - and appreciating some 2500-year-old passive-aggression...
