SHIUR miami Dérive - havdalah roller disco birthday
feb 7, 2026 | miami| 6:00 Pm
So much of Judaism centers around the celebration of life, not only in traditional spaces, but also in finding joy everywhere, being silly, being playful, and experiencing the light of community and togetherness.
Join us in celebrating Ariel Penzer’s birthday with a unique musical Havdalah led by Micki Weinberg and Keysel Pelaez, pizza, and a roller skating disco where we’ll party like it’s 1991!
6-8pm Havdalah, Pizza, and celebration.
8-9pm Roller Disco
About Havdalah: How can we ensure that the transformation of Shabbat does not remain in a retreat headspace, but instead becomes a tool for changing society at large? The Jewish Havdalah fire ritual explores this tension in all its complexity through a multisensory practice that draws on the values of community, human action, and bringing the joys of the sacred into everyday life.
Space limited. Please register here to receive confirmation and more information. Be sure to bring socks, we’ll take care of the roller skates!
Donation Ticket- $65 or more. Includes roller skating and complete program.

SHIUR is opening its Miami Residency (Jan 22–Feb 28) with a private museum tour followed by an text-based discourse salon led by SHIUR founder Micki Weinberg (Berlin), a fundraiser supporting its global arts programming.

Opening Event Schedule

SHIUR in the gallery new york: A new beginning/nostos
nov 13, 2025 | kaliner gallery | 7pm
Join us for an intimate evening of music performance and text-based discourse amongst the art of Kim Uchiyama with SHIUR founder @MickiWeinberg and @yoniweinberg. We will be drawing on texts from theory & philosophy, Kabbalah, literature and more through a non-dogmatic lens.
“The exhibition’s title, NOSTOS, is Greek for ‘return’ or ‘homecoming’. Inspired by a resent rereading of Homer’s The Odyssey, the artist is re-envisioning points of departure and points of return—the outward movement and circling back of the journey as a form of narrative structure. A story within a story, concentric and digressive, yet always returning to its origin. In the NOSTOS exhibition, Uchiyama’s work with color brings back color not only as a subject but the method of arrival.”
How can art reveal new insights into ancient texts and narrative? How can text based discourse create a new con-text to appreciate visual arts? In this new post-war situation how can we re-connect and re-evaluate concepts, themes, spaces, materials, and other content that may significantly help us in responding to the rapidly changing paradigms?
The SHIUR in the Gallery series is held in concert with SHIUR gatherings in Berlin, Tel Aviv, London, Paris, New York, and Miami where people of all backgrounds come together through text-based discourse at art spaces; thinking together, reading together, developing ideas and experiences together.

SHIUR tel aviv: a new beginning
OCT 18, 2025 | tEL aviv | 8pm
The hostages are back, the war is over. We are entering a “new beginning” stage. Yet how can we truly enter a new beginning, after we have seen the dark side of humanity, not only here in the Middle East, but also throughout the Western World? Are we truly out of the dark?
How can we combat the reactionary impulses attempting to prevent a new beginning? How can we cultivate a new fire to dispel the resurgent old darkness?
SHIUR founder Micki Weinberg, visiting from Berlin, will lead a text-based discourse drawing on theory, philosophy, literature, Kabbalah, and other sources, followed by a re-interpretation of the Havdalah fire ritual. Join people of all backgrounds, Jewish, Arab, Druze, and others as we collectively engage in new readings and perspectives.

SHIUR with Czech Jewish Student Union
SHIUR with Czech Jewish Student Union
OCT 3, 2025 | Prague | 7:15pm
Does it bother you? (Czech: Vadí?)—the question at the heart of the 1966 Czechoslovak New Wave film Daisies—has never felt more resonant than today, as we face the burning choice of how to respond to a profoundly messed up world. We waver between engagement and detachment, or perhaps turn inward to create a world of our own.
How can we respond meaningfully to a world that fails to understand us, yet appears confidently prepared to destroy us? In what ways can the Jewish holiday of Sukkot illuminate this question?
Micki Weinberg will lead a text-based discourse exploring these issues, drawing on sources from theory, Kabbalah, literature, and beyond.
Before the shiur, services will be held in the historic Altneau synagogue at 18:15 followed by Shabbat dinner at the Kehila at 19:15.
SHIUR Berlin art week shabbat dinner
SHIUR berlin art week shabbat dinner
sep 12, 2025 | berlin | shiur pop up gallery
Berlin Art Week is the city’s premier art exhibition event. Since October 7, the Berlin art scene has become increasingly politicized and hostile toward Jewish artists, curators, critics, and others working in the cultural sector.
SHIUR has been at the forefront of creating a supportive space for those who have stood up against antisemitism and dogmatism—producing original art exhibitions, workshops, retreats, Shabbat dinners, and cultural events that hold space for Jewish artists and their allies.
This Berlin Art Week SHIUR plans to create a go-to space for Jews and allies attending Berlin Art Week. SHIUR will have a pop-up gallery showcasing original works by Jewish, Arab, Israeli, Iranian, and other artists from around the world who have been excluded from ideologically driven art spaces.
The project aspires to create meaningful encounters between communities often separated by politics, history, or exclusion. In addition to the exhibition, we will host a series of community events, including a communal Shabbat dinner.

SHIUR midsummer Retreat: “What Dreams May Come”
SHIUR midsummer Retreat: “What Dreams May Come”
June 20-22, 2025 | Elbe marshlands, germany (hamburg region)
In a region shaped by the convergence of radical forms of Kabbalah and Enlightenment—where visions and hopes often went unfulfilled—
we are left with the dreams of those who came before us.
What “unpathed waters and undreamed shores” might we yet bring to life in our time?
Join us at our 3rd Annual SHIUR Retreat - for a unique weekend gathering of artists, creators, policymakers, entrepreneurs, students, and others as we engage in three days of transformative workshops and experiences in the dreamy Elbe Marshlands, staying in a beautiful renovated three hundred years old complex.
About the retreat:
The purpose of SHIUR retreats is to retreat with the intent to return to society; impacting meaningful change both within ourselves and those around us. We do this by bringing together a diverse group of participants to engage in multidisciplinary activities – text-based discourse, ritual, music, art, body movement, and good food.
We believe that our special take on Shabbat and Havdalah practices could offer a radically different approach to retreat, transformation, and alterity–for participants of all backgrounds.
We directly engage in contemporary questions and issues that affect ourselves and our society–detachment is not enough!
We are honored to have the poet, professor and dream therapist Rodger Kamanetz with us, leading workshops related to poetry and dream therapy.
Activities include:
SHIUR text-based discourses
Mindfulness and Yoga workshops
Sessions led by Professor Rodger Kamenetz (author of Jew in the Lotus), SHIUR founder Micki Weinberg, and others
Music, sound, song and movement experiences
Gourmet vegan mindful eating, catered by At The Table Berlin
Canoes/Paddle-boarding on the river
Sauna
Nature excursions
About the location:
The beautiful and renovated three hundred years old riverside complex is located in the countryside in the Elbe Marshlands (not far from Hamburg), a region of outstanding natural and architectural beauty that also has a rich cultural history–from radical Kabbalists to the revolutionaries of the Enlightenment! We are thrilled and look forward to engage in texts and rituals that emerged from the very location that we will be in with several special guest speakers from around the world.
Participants will be able to enjoy the space, sauna, canoes, the surrounding riverside and nature areas along with delicious and healthy gourmet vegan catering by At The Table Berlin.
For those coming from outside of Germany, we recommend flying into Hamburg or Berlin from where you can join other participants coming to the retreat.
The complex has different rooms of varying size and luxury.
All inclusive (3 days, 2 nights accommodation, food, programming)- costs range from 270 to 800 euros depending on the room.
WE HAVE STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS AND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AT SIGNIFICANTLY SUBSIDIZED RATES! Reach out to us!

SHIUR Berlin: Spring Again
SHIUR Berlin: Spring Again
April 5, 2025 | Berlin| Location given closer to the date
How many times have we thought that spring has arrived, only to be disappointed? Are we condemned (or blessed) to an eternal cycle of rising and falling—up and down, down and up—the spiral of history? Does it matter only that we are moving? How do we distinguish between a retreat that serves as a springboard for future advances and one that is a true loss? And how can we effectively spring forward?
We will explore these questions and more through a text-based discourse led by SHIUR founder Micki Weinberg, alongside musical performances, Havdalah rituals, and discussions with participants from different Middle Eastern countries who find themselves within this very spiral.
Wine, cheese, and hors d’oeuvres will be served.

SHIUR at oxford university with oxmend
SHIUR at oxford university with oxmend
February 25, 2025 | Oxford university- Northern Oxford OX2/Location upon confirmation of attendance
Since October 7, 2023, the ascendancy of dogma and ideology regarding the Israeli-Palestinian question is just the tip of a larger iceberg that has threatened critical thinking and democratic structures across different disciplines and communities. Global incidents of hate, violence, totalitarian thinking, and anti-humanist trends have become commonplace in spaces where you would never suspect them.
How can we contend with this ideological turn? What tools can we employ to subvert dogmatic thinking? How can we obtain new perspectives if we are constrained by old ideas?
Can the ancient practice of critical engagement and creative interpretation with texts offer a tool in breaking out of ideological thinking? How does this look in the 21st century? What new and revolutionary ideas and worldviews can emerge?
Join SHIUR founder Micki Weinberg for an evening exploring this topic and more in an evening of interactive multi-text based discousre.
Space limited. Please register here to receive confirmation and more information.
