For staff of all faiths and backgrounds who work at Jewish nonprofits in St. Louis. 

Join Rabbi Shlomo and Kyra Ashkanazy to explore Jewish culture, traditions and practices that have guided Jewish life throughout history and provide relevance and meaning today. Taste a selection of traditional Jewish food from around the world.

Rabbi Shlomo and Kyra Ashkanazy are the Orthodox Union’s JLIC (Jewish Life on Campus) couple affiliated with WashU Hillel. They provide students with opportunities for Jewish growth and connection through a diverse range of programs and events. A highlight of their work is hosting Shabbat in their home and meeting students one on one throughout the year for Torah learning and to develop deep and meaningful relationships.
