Review for Kehilat Hadar, New York, NY, USA
Kehilat Hadar has been my primary spiritual community for the past 3 years. I attend services there every weekend and on holidays, as well as evening classes during the week, and retreats. The organization is entirely volunteer led, and recently restructured its leadership to be more sustainable and better able to provide programming. It is one of the leanest, most organized and responsible organizations I have ever been a part of, with an exceptional attention to detail.

Review for Hadar Institute, New York, NY, USA
*Spent a summer as a fellow in the only full time egalitarian yeshiva in North America *Learned how to study Talmud and Tanakh (bible) *Bonded with an incredible group of committed egalitarian Jews - perhaps the most amazing group of people I've been a part of in my life, where every single person was amazingly committed to the vision and future of serious egalitarian Judaism *Deepened relationships with numerous rabbis and teachers, many of whom I consider mentors and roll models about how to lead my religious, spiritual, and practical life
