Are you interested in exploring the Jewish tradition from the ground up, with master Jewish teachers? Have you been wondering about the core beliefs and practices that animate the Jewish religion? Are you looking to deepen your experience of God and prayer into the rhythm of your life? 

This course is designed to give you the raw materials with which to appreciate and access the Jewish tradition. Whatever it is you may be seeking, we offer a safe space for acquiring the experiential and intellectual knowledge that allow you to deepen your own religious life.  Topics include, but are not limited to:
 
- The World of the Bible
- Ritual exploration
- Lifecycles (Birth, Marriage, Death) 
- Shabbat (The Sabbath)
- Prayer and Liturgy
- Jewish Holidays
- Israel
- Theology

This course is taught through a collaborative educational partnership with the Miller Introduction to Judaism Program of American Jewish University.

Note: The class will meet virtually until the Adas building has been re-opened for adult education. Virtual options will continue through the pandemic. Questions can be directed to Roberto Bacalski.
