Hiya! I’m Toby, I use she/they pronouns, coming from Tkaronto (Toronto), shared ancestral lands of several nations including Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples.

I just love studying with other Queer-Jews and the energy at Svara is always so uplifting <3

Hey everyone! I’m Rahel, she/her. Learning on Ohlone land. My chevruta is Nehama. I’m excited about once again regularly making time to learn in my life. I’m always glad for the energy that SVAVA learning brings, and I welcome the change in pace and shift in focus!
hi everyone! i am ck, she/her; learning on the ancestral homeland to the Anishinaabek, Ojibwe, Odawa, and the Potawatomi.
My chevruta is Ariya
I’m just excited in general! I’m looking forward to committing this time and energy to talmud study and having a lot of time each week to look at text with a partner. I hope to develop a better understanding of how to look at and break down a text and how to connect it to other texts. And I look forward to finding more hints of the radical + justice-based ideas embedded in Judaism.
