We host the Day of Discovery event each year, held in late August. It’s a unique opportunity for the JEWISH COMMUNITY to discover the richness and the diversity of Jewish learning available in Kansas City. Participants learn, study and “discover” some of the community’s finest Jewish educators, rabbis and cantors, who lead sessions on a wide range of topics. Over thirty classes are offered throughout the day.

While the schedule varies each year, registration and a continental breakfast usually take place from 8:45 – 9:30 a.m., study sessions begin at 9:30 and lunch is served from 12:15 –1:20 p.m. A dessert reception with door prizes will conclude the day. Please select a date below to get details for the next (or past) “Day of Discovery” event.

Registration for the event begins in early August. Registration forms are mailed in advance in July. A listing of classes and information related to the day can be found towards the end of July or in mid-August.

Space is limited and advance registration is required. Class and lunch payments must be received in advance; after the deadline, registration fees increase and enrollment is open on a space-available basis.

The program is co-sponsored by The Rabbinical Association of Greater Kansas City, Jewish Community Center, Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City, Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy, Village Shalom and area congregations. This program is funded by the Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City.
