Drop In Learning
Always text-based. Always lively discussion.
Always free!
A drop-in class is a single Zoom session or short series led by Laasok faculty or by respected rabbis and educators from across the Jewish community. No prior knowledge required — attend a topic that calls to you, or join us for a full series.
Communities of Practice
More than a study group, a Laasok community of practice is a place to learn and grow together. We explore Jewish ideas and practices—and bring them into our lives.
OUR Jewish Home
Rooted in tradition; Unapologetically YOU
With Rabbi Micah Streiffer
OUR Jewish Home is an engaging course for couples building a Jewish life together, whether you’re planning a wedding or navigating the first few years of marriage.
Meeting monthly via Zoom (September through May), we explore key aspects of Jewish life and tradition, build a supportive community, and engage in thoughtful conversation about what it means to create a Jewish home that reflects your unique story as a couple.
The program is especially geared toward interfaith and intercultural couples, and is also open to couples who are both Jewish. We are joyously inclusive of all gender identities and sexual orientations.
One Monday a month, starting September 28 (9 sessions)
7:30pm ET/ 4:30pm PT
Offered on a sliding scale between $250-450
Sponsored by a generous grant from the National Center to Encourage Judaism
Powered by Modern JewISH Couples

Laasok is committed to financial accessibility. If you need subsidy beyond the posted amount, please email us and we will arrange for you to take the class for a different amount, or for a payment plan.
Weekly Study Groups
What could it mean to set aside an hour a week for Jewish learning and connection?
Our weekly study groups are the heart of our learning community. Each small group meets weekly on an ongoing basis to study a particular text and to connect with each other. Choose from:
- Torah From the Beginning: A Torah study that assumes no prior knowledge.
- Digging Deeper into Torah: For more experienced learners of Torah
- Parsha Thru Midrash: Studying the Torah portion through the lens of the Rabbinic “stories about stories” of the Midrash.
- Talmud Study: We are exploring Berachot, the tractate about prayers and blessings.
- Leviticus Deep Dive: A chapter-by-chapter exploration of this fascinating and often misunderstood book.
- You Shall Be Holy: Explores timeless Jewish wisdom for living a life of compassion and purpose.
- Haftarah: Judaism’s Prophetic Voice: Explores the prophetic voices of our tradition, as well as modern voices that compel us to act.
- Queering the Torah Portion: An LGBTQ+ perspective on the weekly parsha.
