"Dirah" means "apartment" in modern Hebrew, and a "dwelling place" in biblical Hebrew, as in "G-d's dwelling place". It comes from the same root as Darim -- to dwell.

This area of the Darim Online site is a resource for members to find best practices, sample policies, resourceful articles, useful tips, and links to valuable materials on the web.

This is a constantly evolving resource bank -- we welcome contributions of your best practices and materials, and invite you to communicate to us what other materials would be most valuable to you.

The resource bank complements the Learning Network (currently being piloted with synagogues, but soon to roll out to other markets we serve as well), and you can find overviews of each Learning Network session, including the agenda, presenters, related materials, notes, and audio archives of the calls here as well.

Please do be in touch with comments and suggestions. Dirah is intended to be a resource for you, and we welcome your input.
