Exploring Judaism

A course for inquisitive Jews, significant others, those pursuing adult B’nei Mitzvah or conversion, and Seekers of Knowledge of Jewish Life

Led by Rabbi Liz, and featuring plenty of interaction among students, this course leads participants through the major value concepts and practices of Judaism. We wrestle with fundamental questions while learning from and studying with each other.

If you are seeking to deepen your understanding of your Jewish heritage, or to explore Judaism as a spiritual and religious tradition you wish to embrace, you’ve found the right learning opportunity - as you are, whoever you are, or wherever you are.
