The Purposes of Jewish Living
Purposes explores the big questions from a variety of perspectives, questions such as: Why are we here? Why do people suffer? What happens after we die?
The Rhythms of Jewish Living
Rhythms covers the Jewish life cycle and calendar. This is a course for adults – it will not be a repeat of Sunday school. And no matter whether you attended Sunday school or even day school, you will learn quite a bit.
YEAR 2
The Dramas of Jewish Living Through the Ages
Dramas probes themes relevant to Jewish life today across time and throughout the Jewish world. Themes include assimilation, community, anti-semitism, and memory.

You can pay using a credit card too. If $45 a month is not possible for you, please speak with our director about scholarships.
