Simple on Purpose
No applications, no prerequisites, no fine print.
- 01
One honest conversation
Reach out and set up thirty minutes with Rabbi Abergel. By video call, or in person when he’s in your city. No preparation, no expectations, no test. That’s the whole commitment.
- 02
Weekly learning that fits your life
If it clicks, it becomes a weekly thing: thirty minutes, one-on-one, around your schedule. Relationships, purpose, happiness, living in the moment, Gemara and halacha when you want them. You set the pace and the topics.
- 03
A community that lasts
Shabbatons where you live, friends across five cities, time in Jerusalem when you want it, and a rabbi who still answers your texts years later.
The Four Pillars
Weekly Learning, One-on-One
Thirty minutes with a rabbi who actually knows you. By video call, or in person when he’s in your city.
Shabbatons Where You Live
New York/Great Neck, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal, Miami. You bring friends. That’s usually how people find it.
Time in Jerusalem
Aish Sephardi’s home base at Aish HaTorah, overlooking the Kotel, running year-round, and someone who keeps in touch after you fly home.
A Community That Lasts
Friendships, Shabbat together, people who show up for each other’s milestones. For a lot of people, that’s the part that lasts.
“The whole generation, not half of it.”
For Women, Too
Matchmaking and personal guidance with Rebecca Abergel are available now, with dedicated women’s learning and mentorship programming being added as the network grows.
Five Cities, One Community
Every chapter is hybrid. The weekly learning happens wherever you are (most weeks that means a video call), and the in-person side grows city by city: Shabbatons, classes, community meals, and Rabbi Abergel’s visits. New York/Great Neck, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal, and Miami are first. More will follow.

What does it cost?
The conversations are free, the weekly learning is free, and it stays that way. Donors fund it, so money is never the reason someone stays disconnected from their own heritage. Individual events and trips come with their own details when they’re announced.
