Basic Judaism
This is a 13-week introduction of Judaism offered each spring and fall for anyone interested in learning more about the Jewish faith, whether you were born Jewish or not, and for those interested in conversion. Sessions are led by Rabbi David Lyon, Rabbi Adrienne Scott, Rabbi Mark Miller and Cantor Robert Gerber, and feature a variety of presentations and discussions on topics such as:

• Foundations of our Faith
• Choosing Judaism
• Understanding Jewish Prayer
• Shaping Sacred Time: Shabbat, Holidays, & Festivals
• Living a Jewish Life
• Life Cycle Events
• Reform Judaism
• Jewish Music
• Jewish History and Anti-Semitism
• Israel: The Land and People

We will also celebrate Shabbat and the holidays together.

Check the calendar for course schedules. Classes usually meet at the Temple on Tuesday evenings from 7:30-9:00 p.m. Registration is $18 and is open to anyone wishing to deepen their level of Jewish knowledge.
