A Bit About Our Program
Welcome to the Creative School of Jewish Learning, where our motto is “Building
Knowledge, Building Community.” Designed primarily for adult learners at the
present, the CSJL offers dynamic award-winning learning events that explore the
many facets of Judaism. Through drama, text study, cooking, music, film,
discussion, the arts, literature, and more, programs explore diverse topics as
teh Bible, Jewish women, the Holocaust, the origins of rituals, the Bible at the
Zoo, the afterlife, prayer, midrash (rabbinic storytelling), Jewish history and
even Dr. Seuss!
Our CSJL Director can arrange individualized instruction -- on-site, home-based,
and distance -- for elementary students, families, and adults.
Intergenerational programming focused on the holidays is also offered,
attracting all ages to Sukkah decorating, Hanukkah dinners, Tu B'Shevat and -
yes - 4th of July seders!, and more.
The CSJL has dedicated the current year to a serious and wide-ranging
exploration of spirituality as one of the "gems" of Judaism.
Featured titles recently included “Nourishing the Spirit” – discovering
spirituality’s connection to food; A Soul Experience in Art – exploring the
relationship between the visual arts and spirituality at the Cincinnati Art
Museum. An ongoing discussion, Unpacking Prayer – unveiling the hidden structure
and meaning of prayer services in a search for a spiritual connection, occurs
monthly.
These various events are generally offered on weekends, both daytimes and
evenings. Creativity is our motto, so programs rarely repeat. Join us now so you
don't miss out!!
