Study Guides
I’m sharing the guides that I use to lead group discussions on Positive Judaism and I encourage you to develop them in your own way. Each two-page study guide is designed to for a one-hour group session for people of all backgrounds. I often begin with a five minute guided meditation on the topic of each session and each lesson is a stand alone session. Enjoy, Rabbi Darren Levine
