Yom Limmud has educated students, parents, and teachers across our diverse community for more than 30 years. Our theme this year is Am Yisrael Chai referring to the resilience Jews have shown in the world post October 7. We are honored to bring you classes related to Jewish Text, arts, health and wellness, Israel, antisemitism, public affairs & resilience. We are sure you will find an amazing session to enjoy.

About this session:

Creativity is inherent in each one of us, and accessing our creativity can help us lead more connected, fulfilled, and satisfying lives. As a part of a Yom Limmud, in this session we’ll explore a Jewish perspective on what creativity is and why it matters more than ever in today’s uncertain world. Daughter of renowned art therapist Pat B. Allen, Adina grew up in an art studio, where she learned first-hand the power of creativity to help us lead more connected, fulfilled, and satisfying lives. This session will offer Jewish wisdom on creativity and a set of tools to bring creative resilience to our Jewish communities.

Rabbi Adina Allen is a national media contributor, popular speaker, and award-winning educator who teaches about creativity as a vital tool for Jewish learning, spiritual connection and social change. As cofounder and Creative Director of Jewish Studio Project (JSP), Rabbi Allen has worked with thousands of Jewish organizational and communal leaders, educators, and clergy across the country to access and activate their inherent creativity. Rabbi Allen is the author of The Place of All Possibility: Cultivating Creativity Through Ancient Jewish Wisdom (Ayin, 2024). She and her family live in Berkeley, California.
