When Hillel was asked to sum up Jewish teaching while standing on one foot, he said, “What is hurtful to you, do not do to your neighbor.” But then he added this: “The rest is commentary. Go and learn.”

We are never free from that mandate. It is the essence of our obligation and commitment as Jews to learn. Only then can the broad generality of “Love your neighbor” become focused, rooted in the accrued wisdom of our tradition, in how we understand our place in it, and in the future to which we aspire.

We are delighted to be able to offer to our community many diverse opportunities to “go learn”—from Hebrew language, and Bible and Talmud, to contemporary Jewish literature, spirituality, and politics. Select one or more of these opportunities and seize it. You will do Hillel proud, and will, best of all, discover the joy of learning with peers.
