Read the latest issue: Volume 7, Number 2: April 2011 - What is Sacred Space?

An inspiring and empowering element of our tradition is the recognition that we may discover the sacred in a multitude of spaces—physical, communal, spiritual, or some combination of these or other aspects.

This volume of Olam Tikvateinu is an exploration of the sacred as experienced through the hearts, minds and senses of your friends in the Olam Tikvah community. May we continue together as community that uncovers the sacred every day of our lives.

-Rabbi David Kalender

About Olam Tikvateinu

As Rabbi Kalender wrote in the first issue of Olam Tikvateinu—our Olam Tikvah, our world of hope—it is a place for our congregants to share their Torah, a forum for original ideas and thoughts on Jewish themes—Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), Talmud, Jewish history, philosophy, ethics and actions/behavior.

Olam Tikvateinu's motto is:

For the sake of God’s righteousness, God desires that Torah grow and be glorified.
—Isaiah 42:21

Olam Tikvateinu is funded by congregant contributions. Please contact Rabbi Kalender if you would like to help defray our publication costs .
