What you should know about us:
The Open Gate Institute for Jewish Learning teaches adults online — text study, Jewish thought, liturgy, and Hebrew — with about 1,400 enrollments a year across roughly 40 courses. We are independent and transdenominational, and a good share of our students have no synagogue affiliation at all.
All teaching is remote, which means our faculty live everywhere and our course design has to work for someone joining from a kitchen table in a different time zone. We think that constraint has made us better teachers.
