The Happy Valley Beit Midrash (HVBM)    

Thursdays, beginning October 30, 7:00-8:30 pm, in person only 
Refer to CBI calendar for specific dates 
CBI Library - Registration Requested

CBI Northampton is creating a new Happy Valley Beit Midrash (HVBM) to meet the needs of an intellectually and spiritually curious and growing Jewish community. The Beit Midrash (house of study) will serve as an exciting new hub for Jewish life in the Pioneer Valley, a public resource for adult Jewish learning.  

We envision this space as another major entry point to Judaism and Jewish life alongside synagogue services. Open to all, HVBM will help to nurture and grow the latent interest in serious Jewish learning in the valley.  

Each Thursday, you can expect: 

• A short 30 minute class taught by a local teacher  

• Approximately an hour of self-paced study, with the support of teachers to help answer questions and guide learners.  

• Resources will be made available for those looking for something new to study, and the teacher will also be available to help pair those who want to learn but do not yet have a chevruta (study partner) 

Organizers: Rabbi Jacob Fine, Rabbi Ben Barer, Rabbi Ed Feld
Other teachers, Rabbi Ariella Rosen, Rabbi Simcha Halpert Hanson, others TBA
