Dreams are visions that flicker before our eyes at night, and also our visions of a better reality. On this night of learning, we will delve into texts from the Bible, the Talmud, the Midrash, and Hebrew literature, revisit the dreams and hopes that have accompanied us for thousands of years, and imagine — with open eyes — how to make them come true.
