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.
