Jewish Philosophy

Yisroel Loeb

Led by Yisroel Loeb, Ph.D

The Jewish Philosophy Group is a long-standing weekly gathering of men from our community who come together to explore deep ideas in a lively, participatory setting. Meeting most Tuesday evenings from 8:15 to roughly 10:00–10:15, the evening opens with about 45 minutes of relaxed schmoozing and fellowship, followed by 45 minutes to an hour of rich discussion on the topic of the week. Topics are chosen by the group—sometimes explored over a single session, sometimes across several weeks or a month. This is not a lecture series; it's a genuine conversation among peers, where every voice is welcome and encouraged. Facilitation rotates among participants: anyone interested in leading a session is invited to clear their topic with the group facilitator and guide the discussion themselves. The result is an engaging, thought-provoking forum for wrestling with meaningful questions together.

Schedule

Most Tuesday evenings
8:15 – 10:15 PM
