Hartman Summer Retreat

Join us on Temple Emanuel’s Mission to learn Torah at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem June 25-July 2, 2025

As Israel and the Jewish people face an uncertain future, Hartman’s Summer 2024 Community Leadership Program in Jerusalem explored the spiritual and moral questions of this moment, and together we experienced Israel’s resilience during a time of great challenge and imagined the future we hope to build as we shared a powerful week of learning about Israel Tomorrow. Watch recordings here.

Join a Temple Emanuel group at Hartman next summer and explore the power of Jewish ideas and strengthen our understanding of the challenges impacting Jewish life. Together, we will:

• Learn Torah with the greatest living teachers of Torah in Jerusalem. Scholars include Donniel Hartman, Yehuda Kurtzer and Micah Goodman, all of whom have taught here in the past few years. Their Torah sparkles — filled with passion, joy and insight
• Join us in optional small sessions for our Temple Emanuel group
• Experience Israel through the Hartman Institute’s programs on contemporary Israel and culture
• Enjoy incredible community-building among the Temple Emanuel members who attend. Nothing bonds like being in Israel together!

The Hartman experience is appropriate for adults, and no particular Judaic background is needed to enjoy the program!
