“All who thirst, come to the water.” (Isaiah 55:1)
הוי כל צמא לכו למים (ישעיהו נה:א)

Scholars often compare the Torah to a well and its words to water—drawn from a deep place, this water can refresh and sustain all who seek it.

Torah study at Romemu is central to our spiritual journey. The Well, our program of educational offerings, provides learning opportunities for seekers at every level.

Regardless of your education or religious background, our programs welcome newcomers while also deepening the knowledge and practice of all Jewish learners, guiding participants toward living with holiness in challenging times. 

By popular demand, Rabbi David’s daily offering will continue all year long! Subscribe to Rabbi David’s Substack to receive reflections, meditations and teachings exploring the theme of shamor — the divine and human partnership to guard, protect and cherish all that is precious.

Sha’boker is Romemu’s joyful Tot Shabbat experience for children ages 5 and under and their grownups, led by Hazzan Shimon Smith, Romemu’s Music Director and Youth and Family Director.

Rooted in Romemu’s open-hearted, musical, and deeply embodied approach to Jewish life, Sha’boker invites our youngest community members into Shabbat through singing, movement, prayer, storytelling, and play.

No prior experience is needed. Just come as you are and join us for a lively, meaningful Shabbat morning together.

We know how to welcome Shabbat with intention. But why let it end when the stars come out? In the tradition of Melaveh Malka, come carry Shabbat with you into the week. Sing nigunim in an open circle with amazing musicians, enjoy a bit of learning and activities for the kids, and end with Havdalah together.

No experience needed. Just come and sing. Feel free to bring a guitar; we’ll have chords.

Wednesdays until January 20, 12:00 PM at 92NY, 1395 Lexington Ave, NYC

Finally ask the question you’ve been carrying. Enjoy a relaxed hour with no wrong answers: bring your lunch, your curiosity, and your disagreements, and leave seeing things differently. Nothing is off the table: G-d, doubt, ethics, Israel, or spirituality.

During the week following Kristallnacht, Rabbi David speaks with psychiatrist Dr. Michelle Friedman (Divine Corners) and psychologist Dr. Eva Fogelman, a pioneer in intergenerational trauma. Drawing on their work and lives as children of Holocaust survivors, they explore trauma, memory, and how stories shape identity across generations.

Romemu is reopening our Jewish recovery fellowship for anyone seeking freedom from addiction of any kind.

What it is: An anonymous 12-step group following the traditions of AA, drawing on Jewish spiritual wisdom from Jewish 12-step recovery texts, Torah, Mussar teachings, and other Jewish wisdom throughout the ages.

Who it’s for: Anyone struggling with addiction—whether you’re at the beginning of your journey, have been sober for years, months, or are taking it one day at a time. Anyone supporting someone in recovery. Anyone seeking a Jewish perspective on the 12 steps. Jewish or not, you’re welcome.

We’re just starting: Email 12step@romemu.org to join our group and help build this community. We’re planning to meet in person once or several times monthly.

Seekers Holistic Hebrew School provides children and families with the Jewish education they need to find meaningful connections to Jewish life and practice.
