We are Jeremy and Miri, two British students at Yeshivat Hadar, an egalitarian yeshiva on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. We are being funded by JHub, incubator of Jewish social action projects in the UK. We will be studying Talmud in this open, egalitarian, academically rigourous and religiously committed institution all year. We will also be volunteering and teaching in the community.
Throughout the year, we will share our reactions to what we've been studying or what we've experienced in the American Jewish community of New York City. We will be having an ongoing conversation, and this is where we will post it.
We've come a long way, from West End Lane to Broadway, to explore our rich Jewish tradition.
Welcome to the Upper West Side.
Miri & Jeremy
