Introduction to Judaism Classes: What to Expect

Rabbi Julie Zupan
Introduction to Judaism provides a forum to ask Jewish questions, learn basic Jewish vocabulary, gain intellectual and experiential knowledge of Judaism, and acquire skills to “do Jewish.” The curriculum includes Jewish holidays and life cycle ceremonies, Jewish beliefs and values, prayer and Jewish texts, the Holocaust, modern Israel, the American Jewish experience, and the diverse tapestry of the Jewish people today.
