Welcome to The Six11 Project!

The mission of The Six11 Project is to ignite a lifelong love of Jewish learning, empowering individuals to draw on the wisdom of tradition in building meaningful, purpose-driven lives.

​

The Six11 Project is an innovative Jewish learning program whose purpose is to inspire Jews to become more connected to their rich literary tradition. The concept for the name Six11 is rooted in the symbolism of the numerical value of the word Torah (611 = ת+ו+ר+ה) . The number also reflects the foundational relationship between the Written and Oral traditions. The numeric values for the Written Torah,  (424) בכתב, combined with Oral Torah, (187) בעל פה, add up to 611. 

​

The Six11 Project focuses on methodological and integrative approaches to learning, which the rabbis referred to as שיטות (shittot), or methods. Every subject taught has a clear approach and framework, whether in Tanakh, Mysticism, Rabbinics or lifestyle. When taught through clear and focused methodologies and frameworks, learning becomes accessible, easier to absorb, more compelling, and inspiring. 

Moshe Kline’s groundbreaking work on the Structured Torah and Structured Mishnah is the inspiration for this innovative approach to Jewish learning. The Six11 Project fills a need for Jewish learning in a modern, pluralistic, in-person context, adding to the rich tapestry of Jewish communal offerings around Los Angeles.

​

The Six11 Project envisions a Jewish world where learning is shared and celebrated by all. A world where lay leaders confidently host Shabbat dinners, teach Torah at their tables, and walk through life with wisdom drawn from Jewish tradition. A world where Jewish learning is accessible, meaningful, and empowering – helping individuals not only enrich their own lives, but transform the world around them.
