Why we call it Storm the Heavens

נִצְּחוּנִי בָּנַי

The Talmud tells of a debate where the Sages held firm to their reading of the Torah, and Hashem smiled and said: “My children have triumphed over Me.” (Bava Metzia 59b)

That is the storm we mean. Not noise, but determination: Jewish souls coming back to their roots with so much strength that Heaven itself takes notice.

שׁוּבָה יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד ה׳ אֱלֹקֶיךָ
“Return, O Israel, to Hashem your God.”
HOSHEA 14:2
1

Come as you are

No Hebrew, no prior learning, no dress code. The room is built for people starting out.

2

Hear a real story

Each speaker shares their own life story: where they started, what changed, and why.

3

Take one idea home

Every talk teaches a Jewish idea you can bring into daily life that same week.

Speakers

Each speaker found their way back to Jewish life and teaches what they learned.
