Unity Through Passionate Debate
Reviving the ancient tradition of Beit Midrash - where vigorous debate strengthens community bonds and deepens understanding
When two scholars debate Torah, even if they disagree, both their words are the words of the living God— Talmud, Eruvin 13b
The Modern Beit Midrash
In the traditional Beit Midrash, two scholars would engage in passionate debate over vital Jewish topics. To an observer, they might appear to be adversaries, but in reality, they were united by their shared love for Jewish life and learning.
Every participant approaches discussion with respect and genuine desire to understand different perspectives.
We debate issues that matter deeply to Jewish life, community, and tradition - topics worth passionate discussion.
Through heated debate, we remember we are discussing with our brothers and sisters, building stronger community bonds.
Our Vision
BEIT DEBATE creates spaces where Jews from all walks of life come together for live events featuring passionate debate, followed by dinner, drinks, and meaningful conversation. We leave not as opponents, but as friends with a deeper, more diverse community.
