Adult Education

Adult education events include Introduction to Judaism and conversion classes, as well as special topics and guest lecturers. See the calendar for additional upcoming events.

All About Judaism
This class meets on Wednesday evenings, from 7:30 to 9:00. This class gives students an opportunity to ask any and all questions of the Rabbi regarding Judaism or the Jewish community. We will examine Judaism's beliefs regarding Sin, Sacrifice, Atonement, Heaven/Hell/The Afterlife, Devil/Satan, Monotheism, the Messiah, and other topics. We then go through a vocabulary of Jewish life, Holidays and Holy Days, Life Cycle Events, and Judaism's view of the controversial issues of the day. This class is mandatory for anyone interested in conversion to Judaism. There is a cost of $72 a semester, or $144 a year, to cover the cost of all of the handouts used in class.
