This year's theme is Blueprint. We will examine how architecture and geography are used to create order out of chaos, separate the sacred and profane, define boundaries and create a sense of meaning for all.

LABA: House of Study puts out a bi-monthly journal, hosted here, that features our fellows' creative responses to the texts they encounter in our beit midrash. Our latest journal looks at domestic spaces and Leviticus 14.

THE FESTIVAL IS COMING! 5.17 - 5.19

LABA: House of Study is a beit midrash for culture-makers at the 14th St. Y. Through the program, selected fellows partake in a yearlong study of Jewish texts in a non-religious setting and incorporate these ancient ideas into their contemporary work.
