(Re)Introduction to Judaism
Oak Park Temple
Spring 2021

Explore a modern take on Jewish life.  Engage with Jewish values, celebrations, and spirituality.  Voice your questions, discover multiple perspectives, and find what could be meaningful to you in liberal Judaism.

This is an engaging multi-session course for anyone interested in exploring Jewish life through a Reform lens.  Open to all, this course is perfect for interfaith couples, those raising Jewish children, spiritual seekers, individuals considering conversion, and Jews who want a meaningful adult Jewish learning experience.

Topics include holidays, life cycle celebrations, theology and core beliefs, Hebrew, prayer, the Bible and other sacred texts, history, anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, Zionism and Israel, the American Jewish experience, and the tapestry of the Jewish people today.

Our instructor is congregational educator Robin Arbetman. Classes will meet on Sundays, 7:00-9:00 pm starting January 24, and the curriculum will include 13 sessions plus a Shabbat experience. All classes will meet on Zoom. (Detailed schedule and Zoom link will be shared upon registraion.)

Register when you’re ready to reserve your spot.  The $50 registration fee covers the textbook and materials; scholarships are available.
