S stands for SVARA: A Traditionally Radical Yeshiva. M stands for Mishkan. Together, the S & M Bet Midrash has been the most exciting space to do serious, sophisticated Talmud learning in an egalitarian setting in Chicago, that invites everyone to the table to learn.

The Orientation for New Learners includes an intro to CRASH theory, how to take apart a Hebrew or Aramaic word, how to use Jastrow and Frank dictionaries, how to navigate a page of Talmud, what even is the Talmud?!, and other essential learning skills. This Orientation is mandatory for all new S&M learners. If you haven’t learned at S&M or with SVARA before, you’ve gotta be there!
