Scholar-in-Residence Weekend
Bring energy, inspiration, and meaningful connection to your community with a Scholar-in-Residence Weekend with Matthew Silverman and Rabbi Jill Levy.
Our Scholar-in-Residence experience is designed to engage your entire congregation — from Religious School students to teens, adults, community groups, and lifelong learners. By pairing dynamic Jewish learning with hands-on creative expression, we offer a weekend that speaks to multiple generations and learning styles.
What the Weekend Can Include
For Religious School:
Interactive, age-appropriate sessions that bring Jewish texts and values to life through discussion and art projects.
For Teens:
Engaging conversations about Jewish identity, tradition, and contemporary themes, paired with opportunities for creative exploration.
For Adults:
Thought-provoking Torah study and thematic learning sessions that invite reflection, dialogue, and personal insight that foster connection and creativity.
A Blend of Learning and Creativity
Each Scholar-in-Residence Weekend weaves together rich Jewish learning and artistic practice. Participants don’t just study ideas — they explore and express them. Through guided workshops, collaborative projects, and meaningful dialogue, community members experience Judaism as something lived, created, and shared.
Whether your congregation is seeking spiritual growth, educational enrichment, or community-building opportunities, a Scholar-in-Residence Weekend can be tailored to meet your needs.
