CALLED to Preach vs The CollabCommunity

CALLED is a 9-week online and in-person course for growth and learning where you will learn to become more attentive to your heart, one Preaching Moment at a time. CALLED is not a homiletics program or a strategy session. It is an intentional community for those seeking to deepen their hearts and share words of compassion through everyday interactions. Free to all interested in living their faith through everyday interactions and self reflection, the CALLED to Preach app invites registered participants gather weekly to reflect upon and explore Preaching Moments through conversation and community.

The Collaborative app is the central hub for our community throughout the year. It brings together everything members need in one place, making it easier to stay connected, engaged, and informed between sessions. Within the app, members can access session recordings, learning materials, handouts, discussion prompts, announcements, event information, and an organized archive of past content. Resources remain available throughout the year, allowing members to revisit ideas, continue their learning, and engage at their own pace. The app also provides a space for thoughtful conversation beyond our monthly gatherings. Members can share reflections, ask questions, exchange resources, celebrate milestones, and continue meaningful discussions with one another. Rather than replacing our in-person experience, the app extends it by creating opportunities for connection and learning between meetings. Members will also find practical information in one convenient location, including calendars, cohort updates, orientation materials, important announcements, and community resources. As The Collaborative continues to grow, the app will serve as the shared home for our learning, conversations, and relationships across cohorts and future communities. The app is designed to make participation simpler while strengthening the sense of belonging that is central to The Collaborative. It is a place where learning, community, and Jewish wisdom remain accessible throughout the year—not just during our monthly sessions.
