March 13-16, 2017
Emerald Isle, NC
Doors, Thresholds, and Thoughtful Jewish Living  is the theme of the 2017 Sicha Rabbinic Kallah. The door, a richly important element in Jewish religious imagination, presides over comings and goings, as well as over transitions. It is precisely at the place where in and out are hinged that rabbis should be most thoughtful.

We will bring classical and contemporary sources into conversation with our own rabbinic experiences, creating an environment in which text and experience are mutually illuminating. 

Throughout our learning, prayer, and social gatherings, we will pay special attention to doors and thresholds of mind and spirit and to the inner openings towards soul within and the outer openings towards community.
Join the Conversation
The ancient sage, Rabbi Eleazar HaKappar, and the modern poet, Rivka Miriam, both ask: What Torah can I learn from the door? How can I animate the door's best features as I open to others and to myself? Here are the thoughts of the sage and poet. Join the conversation with these and other fellow travelers!
