The Aquarian Minyan Yeshiva

Shifting the paradigm in adult Jewish learning one class at a time

Our Yeshiva offers courses across the spectrum of Judaic studies and practice, in a Jewish renewal mode. We are dedicated to exploring all paths to the divine and offer courses in comparative spiritual awakening and religious thought. Our teachers come from many areas of expertise and cover many topics, including text, liturgy and literature, feminism, mysticism, magic, history, philosophy and psychology, meditation and music. We welcome all who wish to participate in the renewal of Jewish spirituality.

Classes are offered on a sliding scale and occur on Zoom unless otherwise stated.
Your registration fees help support the Minyan and our educators.
