Following a successful launch of our ScholarStream program in 5781, we are excited to announce the full year of ScholarStream learning in 5782! Beginning in October and spanning all the way up to Shavuot, the Conservative Movement seminaries and institutions are partnering to offer eight series that will bring you face-to-face with the brightest and most engaging scholars our movement has to offer.

Scholarstream 5782 features three distinct arcs of learning that stand alone or flow into each other. Cultivating Our Relationships (series 1 & 2), Defining Our Sacred Spaces (series 3, 4, and 5), and Renewing Our Resilience (series 6, 7, and 8) will offer an exploration of who we are, where we are in relation to others, and how we move forward in this complicated world.

Individuals may register below. If you are part of a synagogue or organization interested in sponsoring ScholarStream, please click here. We are grateful to the many organizations who have already signed on as ScholarStream sponsors - see the full list here.

We are pleased to announce full descriptions for our first series on Torah Relationships, and our second series on Ethics. Descriptions can also be found on our website here.
