Launched in 2010 as an effort to connect Jews around the world in mutual appreciation of Jewish wisdom, the Global Day of Jewish Learning is inspired by the vision and leadership of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz z”l.
This year's study theme - THE BONDS BETWEEN US - explores the centrality of community and connection within the Jewish tradition.
