Through Shir Hadash's exciting partnership with Project Zug, we have access to learn together from the Judaism is About Love course materials from Rabbi Shai Held. 

About this Course: 

Despite what you think or may have heard, Judaism is actually a religion of love. This is the transformative claim at the core of Rabbi Shai Held’s groundbreaking book, Judaism is About Love: Reclaiming the Heart of Jewish Life. Hadar’s Project Zug invites you to engage deeply with this vision through a dynamic 10-session course that delves into the foundational texts that inspire R. Held’s theology.

In this course, you’ll discover and reclaim what R. Held calls the “heart” of Judaism. Whether you’ve already read the book and want to engage directly with the primary sources or are eager to follow the textual path that led to R. Held’s insights, this course is a unique opportunity to examine how and why Judaism is, at its core, about love—and to consider how this framework might transform your Jewish life and practice.
