Kevah Groups

A Kevah group is a group of friends who convene regularly to study Jewish texts in a comfortable setting. Each group is convened by a group organizer who chooses an affinity principle for their group.

Kevah currently supports groups for:

  • Berkeley moms with young kids
  • Peninsula Russian young adults
  • Oakland hipsters
  • San Francisco Jewish artists
  • Members of a synagogue interested in studying the same topic (i.e. Jewish parenting)
  • San Mateo couples
  • Denver empty nesters
  • Boulder young adults interested in spirituality

Each group of 8-12 people meets several times each month in someone’s home, office or a local cafe, and is open to participants and their friends. Kevah provides a dynamic teacher or a teacher’s guide, and classical Jewish texts in English translation. Kevah groups are open to people of all backgrounds and denominations.

Participants select a theme or book of interest. Some popular topics include:

  • Torah Parenting
  • Relationships
  • Big Questions (Jewish perspectives on sexuality, race, art, food, Zionism, etc.)
  • Great Books (i.e. Bible, Prophets, Judges, Talmud, Medieval Codes, Hasidic masters)
