About The Six11 Project
A center for deep and transformative Jewish learning
The Six11 Project is a new Jewish learning community based in Los Angeles. Our aim is to not only build spaces for continued Jewish learning but to trace foundational principles and hidden or forgotten traditions, bringing them to light and back into the conversation.
Our programs include the Ancient Wisdom Series for High Schoolers, regular Torah services with our beloved Memorial Torah Scroll, regular community events, and ongoing focused learning series in Chumash, Mishna, Kabbalah and beyond.
We offer Jewish Angelenos of all ages opportunities to engage in deep and transformative Jewish learning. These gatherings are alive with curiosity, laughter, and deep reflection—fueled by people eager to engage with Torah in a setting that feels resonant, rigorous, and welcoming. Our goal is simple: to ignite a lifelong love of Jewish learning, empowering individuals to draw on the wisdom of tradition in building meaningful, purpose-driven Jewish lives.
Our Name
The name Six11 is rooted in the symbolism of the numerical value of the word Torah (611 = ת+ו+ר+ה), and 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.
