The Jewish Federation of Omaha is excited to share the beginning of a new annual initiative we are calling Tapestry: A Celebration of Jewish Learning.  This year, Tapestry will take place Friday, May 2 – Sunday, June 11 and will feature guest scholar, Dr. Yehuda Kurtzer, President of Shalom Hartman Institute.

Tapestry is an investment into strengthening our Omaha community’s Jewish literacy. Each year, The Jewish Federation of Omaha will bring a Jewish scholar to Omaha to collaborate with our congregations, JFO agencies, and partner organizations. Each host organization/agency will customize their own program during this ten-day period of learning. Host organizations/agencies will determine topic, mode of preferred learning experience, and setting that best serves the age group and interests of their participants. This year Dr. Yehuda Kurtzer will engage in a variety of sessions, in a variety of formats, determined by our host organizations/agencies.
