Chevruta (Partner Study)
The Beyt Tikkun team will thoughtfully pair cohort participants in study partners, or chevruta. Through questioning and reflection with a partner, participants deepen insight, strengthen critical thinking, and build meaningful connection.
Community & Access
In being part of our learning community, you will have priority access with free or discounted registration to Beyt Tikkun guest workshops and special programs.
Past programs have included Talmud and Reparations with Shel Maala & Understanding Anti-Palestinian Racism.
Upcoming guest workshops include: The Path to Ecological Justice Travels Through a Free Palestine with Gopal Dayaneni and Songs and Poetry of Solidarity with Palestine with Ami Goodman.

Accesible Pricing:
These programs are priced based on the real cost of offering them, including Rabbi Cat’s time, teaching, and ongoing support, along with the behind-the-scenes work needed to hold a year-long learning community with care.
As Beyt Tikkun works to strengthen our financial foundation and move out of a long-standing deficit, tiered pricing allows those with more flexibility to help sustain this work while keeping doors open to others.
If cost feels like a barrier, we encourage you to reach out—we’re glad to be in conversation. Email Program and Outreach Manager, Mar Munn at marissa@beyttikkun.org
Payment Plans:
Payment plans are welcome and are priced at $100-$200/month depending on tier. To set up a monthly or quarterly payment plan, email lia@beyttikkun.org
