What does this course have to do with today’s multi-layered day of mourning?

Did you know that today,The Tenth of Tevet is an unusual fast day on the Jewish calendar – marked for over 2,500 years – with recently added and quite tragic reasons?

It’s a raw day that reminds us of some of some of the greatest tragedies and internal conflicts in Jewish history, and we fast to remind ourselves, mind and body – how we got here, and how we can heal.

This auspicious day, during these difficult days in the world – is also a perfect opportunity to invite you to join me on a year long online course exploring the long lost legacy of Jewish schism and how an ancient and forgotten civil war that shaped the creation of the Bible — still impacts the deep divisions within the Jewish people, and beyond – today.

Join me in January 2026 for 12 months of deep discovery in my new course.
