2026-01-27 15:00 - 18:30 (America/New_York) | Virtual
The Jewish Grandparents Network — which educates, connects and supports grandparents as partners in enriching Jewish life across generations — will host Learning Fest 2026 on Tuesday, Jan. 27, from 3 to 6:30 p.m. It is the first global convening for Jewish grandparents to learn from experts and each other.
The virtual gathering includes sessions on long-distance grandparenting, generational dynamics around Israel, navigating interfaith families, supporting neurodivergent grandchildren and more.

“Grandparents hold a unique place in many families — they are the keeper of stories and a bridge between the past and future,” said Debra “Debs” Weinberg, executive director of the network and a Baltimore native. “At the same time, many families have complicated dynamics, and the world today is also complicated. Learning Fest 2026 will help grandparents navigate these challenges, connect with each other for support, and feel valued.
“We’re excited to share knowledge and tools to build strong Jewish families and a brighter Jewish future.”
Many grandparents will connect to the event and each other on Zoom. Others will join in person through local communities around the country at “watch parties.”
Keynote speaker is Dr. Becky Kennedy, also known as “Dr. Becky,” a clinical psychologist, mom of three, popular podcaster, social media megastat and CEO of Good Inside.
With interviewer Leah Kahn, VP of Jewish Education at Assembly, Dr. Becky will explore how today’s parents are approaching emotional health, boundaries, and connection — and how grandparents can play a meaningful role in supporting strong, emotionally healthy families across generations.

Sandra Seltzer Silberman HBI Conversations Series Featuring Rabbi Jane Kanarek, PhD, author of "Beyond Brutality, Reclaiming Female Presence in Bavli Sotah"
2026-01-29 12:30 - 13:30 | Online
Join HBI online for the next HBI Conversations event with Hebrew College Professor ​​Rabbi Jane Kanarek, author of “Beyond Brutality, Reclaiming Female Presence in Bavli Sotah”. A publication in the Brandeis Press HBI Series on Jewish Women, Kanarek’s “Beyond Brutality” integrates Talmudic and feminist methodologies to examine one of the most troubling tractates of the Talmud, tractate Sotah, which addresses family law.
By examining Bavli Sotah as a literary unit, interrogating how, why, and where women are invisible within the tractate, Kanarek brings to light a ubiquitous female presence which is secondary to moral and sinning men and integral to the formation and stabilization of rabbinic culture.
​​Rabbi Jane Kanarek is Professor of Rabbinics and Dean of Faculty at Hebrew College. She is the author of Biblical Narrative and the Formation of Rabbinic Law and the co-editor of “Learning to Read Talmud: What It Looks Like and How it Happens” and “Mothers in the Jewish Cultural Imagination”, the latter two of which were finalists for the National Jewish Book Awards.
About the Sandra Seltzer Silberman HBI Conversations Series:
Want to explore Jewish women’s lives through new and thought-provoking literary fiction, memoir and more? Want to connect first hand with those who create it? The Sandra Seltzer Silberman HBI Conversations Series, dedicated in honor of our beloved Conversations and Baltimorian friend, Sandy Silberman, z”l, brings us together to share stories that explore the diversity of Jewish women’s experiences across the world from yesterday and today.

2026-02-10 17:30 - 19:00 | Third Space at Shaarei Tfiloh, 2001 Liberty Heights Avenue
Many Jews today champion the value of tikun olam — repairing the world — but what does it really mean?
Join Rabbi Jessy on a journey through the different meanings and applications of this notion that has come to be a hallmark category of Jewish identification. We will discuss its merit as a defining identity trait of many current-day Jews and challenge the notion that it stands in its own category, separate from other clusters of Jewish activity like ritual and observance.
This is a great series for those who gravitate to tikun olam as a concept and those looking to better understand what it is and how it fits into one’s Jewish (and human) life.
