Our Journey to Judaism program provides some of the essential elements needed for a foundation in Jewish basics. By design, it is not strictly a "conversion" course, but is required for anyone seeking conversion. During our 22 weeks together, we will review many topics that relate to Jewish theology, tradition, sacred texts and peoplehood. However, it is impossible for any one class to encapsulate the depth and breadth of Jewish wisdom, history and tradition, and, therefore, each student is asked to begin the course with an awareness that this program is by conception and implementation just a stepping stone into greater Jewish study and practice. We can provide, at best, an outline to the vastness of Jewish law, knowledge, literature, observance, and contemporary concerns. Jewish learning and living is a journey, not a destination. We are so honored that you want to begin that journey with us!

​

Because most of us learn best by doing, students are encouraged to actively participate in as many aspects of Jewish life as possible. Religious services, lectures, social action, community programs and Shabbat/holiday observances will help students gain a deeper understanding of Jewish life and the Jewish community.  

I look forward to learning, studying and growing together.​

Shalom u'vracha, peace and blessings,
