Fill Your Own Cup: February - June 2026
Join Rabba Yaffa Epstein on Fridays at 12pm ET for 30 minutes of Jewish wisdom to fill your souls and to connect with your fellow educators. This weekly, drop-in virtual learning space will be a chance for educators to gather, learn some great text together, and care for their own souls. Stay for an optional additional 15 minutes each week to dive deeper into the conversation!
This program is open to all educators in any educational setting. No prior experience with Jewish text is necessary to attend.
