HOUSE OF LEARNING
Book time with our Learning Guides
Learning Guide: our daytime hosts who bridge the tavern and house of learning. Each of our learning guides are available to be an onramp to learning and text study. Book time with them to begin your learning journey at Lehrhaus.
Who can participate in 1:1 Learning? Members are welcome to unlimited 1:1 sessions as 1:1 learning is included in the cost of membership ($36/month).
If you are not a member, we limit free 1:1 learning to 3 sessions. If you are interested in continuing after 3 sessions, we ask that you either join as a member, purchase a day pass ($26), or make a donation to Lehrhaus. This helps ensure that we are able to compensate our Learning Guides for their time and expertise.

Lindsay Flammey Furman (she/her) is a lifelong lover of Jewish learning. Her professional journey as a Jewish educator has encompassed a wide variety of Jewish settings including University of Miami Hillel, Temple Beth Elohim (Wellesley, MA), and most recently, Schechter Boston. Lindsay approaches learning, studying, and teaching as a relationship-based endeavor, both with her chevruta and with the text itself. In addition to taking delight in parsing and translating Biblical Hebrew texts, Lindsay finds joy in playing disc golf, reading a good book, and going for long walks with her husband and dog.
Mimi Farb (she/her) partners with her co-learners to build brave and caring relationships in which everyone involved learns through cycles of soulful connection, curiosity, devotional study, embodiment, creation, and liberation.
Mimi draws on her background as a havurahnik and alumna of Beis Yaakov, Svara, Hadar, Mount Holyoke College, and various traditional yeshivas to share Torah joyfully, openly, and critically. When she's not at Lehrhaus, Mimi can be found teaching rabbinical students at Hebrew College, regendering traditional prayers, or dreaming up a liberation based Torah curriculum. Mimi is happy to share her English, Hebrew, Aramaic, growing Yiddish, or fumble through other languages with you!

In the rare moments he’s not learning Torah, Alex loves riding his bicycle up and down the east coast and making soup.
