Wisdom Circles

Creating sacred space for dialogue, learning, and belonging

You can build skills for leading meaningful ritual, engage in open-hearted dialogue about personal and communal questions, and deepen your sense of belonging to Jewish life.

Together we explore Jewish wisdom through text study, mindfulness, art, and rich conversation — all while building deep, lasting connections with others.

Closed Wisdom Circles are identity based, with different circles designated for female identified, male identified, and queer identified individuals, and often grouped by stage of life. Throughout the year, a few open circles are planned in each identity group for anyone who would like to attend and check out the vibe. Once there is enough interest, closed circles are launched, in which you can commit to monthly meetups with a closed group of 12-16 individuals for 18 months. Ma’alot provides initial workshops, resources and ongoing guidance and support for each group.
