MASCULINITY & MAHLOKET
What Judaism says it means to be a man
Are you MAN ENOUGH to DISAGREE?
A Day of Learning on Jewish Text, Constructive Disagreement & Healthy Masculinity
Sunday, February 7th, 2027 | Sutton Place Synagogue, NYC
For over a decade, the loudest voices defining what it means to be a man have come from the Manosphere — an online culture of toxic masculinity, misogyny, and radicalization, often laced with antisemitism. Masculinity & Mahloket is our answer: a day of Jewish text study, real conversation skills, and a community panel that gives boys, girls who care about the boys in their lives, families raising boys, and the adults who care about healthy boys a deeper, sturdier model of manhood than the internet is currently offering.
Open to all - not appropriate for children under 5th grade, given the day's content.
*Mahloket is the Hebrew word for disagreement
Learning Sessions
This is not a lecture about what not to do, but a real dig into what Jewish text and Jewish values actually say about strength, leadership, anger, friendship, and being a man.
Every session is going to ask you to disagree — with the text, with each other, sometimes with yourself.
Community Panel
Featuring panelists who exemplify healthy masculinity and can speak to what it means to be a man in a way that goes deeper than just being a "mensch."
Bringing the text learning to real life. Panelists to be announced soon!
More information coming soon…
