  • My Beijing Bucket List Article Text
    My Beijing Bucket List Article Text Global Spotlight: Jamie Fleishman My Beijing Bucket List What do you do with a bachelor’s in Chinese? For Jamie Fleishman, 23, the answer was obvious: move to Beijing and make his way in one of the world’s fastest growing economies. Arriving without a job, community or a place to call home, Jamie shares his story about how he found all of those—and more—where he least expected. When I moved to Beijing, I gave myself three main priorities: find a job, find friends and find a home. Finding a Jewish community barely crossed my mind. But I guess you could say it kind of found me. On my first night in Beijing, a college friend told me that a local Jewish school needed volunteers. So I stopped by and met all sorts of interesting people: students, parents, teachers—and an American couple running their own education company. Within a month, I was working for that very company. Just like that, Jewish community crossed the first item off my list. Find a job. Later, on my first Shabbat at a Beijing synagogue, I heard about Moishe House, a Federation-supported organization that helps young Jews build peer-based communities right in their own homes. I had never heard of Moishe House before, let alone known that a communal space for young Jews existed in Beijing. When Jonathan, a synagogue member and Moishe House resident, invited me over for Shabbat dinner, I met twenty new friends. There was item number two. Make friends.

  • Information Limmud AZ
    2018limmudse.org Welcome On behalf of the Kaplan Mitchell Retreat Center team, the entire Ramah Darom staff, and our Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to warmly welcome you to our Clayton home for Limmud 2018! Limmud Atlanta + SE and Ramah Darom have been supporters of one another for many years, but in this, the 10th LimmudFest at Ramah Darom, our partnership has deepened in a substantial way. Ramah Darom is a unique place for exceptional experiences where Jewish living and learning to come to life. We seek to partner with other organizations in providing deep and meaningful Jewish moments in a beautiful setting with outstanding hospitality. Limmud is an organization distinct in its core values of choice, volunteerism, learning, and growing. No other experience prides itself on encouraging arguments for the sake of Heaven, nor empowering its participants to see themselves as both learners and teachers, in such an authentic way as Limmud does. In times of increasing polarization of our collective discourse, this program seeks to double down on its effort to bring a variety of voices and opinions to the table, and be a space where participants are exposed to new and different ways of thinking, particularly about Judaism and themselves. LimmudFest is the first content program in our Retreat Center season. In many ways I think of it as the signature event which provides participants a taste of all the opportunities to come in the year at Ramah Darom. Limmud encapsulates the full spectrum of values and experiences we seek to provide here at Ramah Darom, where Judaism can grow and thrive and where Jews of all backgrounds can come together for positive, inclusive, and inspiring programs.
