Exploring Judaism: An Introduction
In-Person and Zoom Option Available. This class will be hybrid.
Select Tuesdays beginning October 11, 7:00pm
This course is organized around the three pillars of Judaism mentioned in the Mishnah: Torah, Prayer, and Acts of Loving Kindness/Social Justice. We also cover the Jewish calendar, Shabbat practice, and holidays. This class welcomes beginners and all those looking to (re-)ground themselves in the basics of Judaism.

The Good Life: Jewish Philosophy through Wisdom Literature
Sunday mornings beginning October 9, 9:30 am
In this class we will explore the books that are the closest the Hebrew Bible gets to philosophy: Job, Ecclesiastes, and Proverbs, along with a few additional sources. These books explore questions of fundamental meaning and purpose including "What is suffering?", "How do I live a good life?", "How do I cultivate a heart of compassion?" and more. Our time together will also extend beyond the text to include wisdom practices and ritual that engage both the mind and heart. Please register to receive a list of recommended books for class.
