There is no better time to sign up for our five-part Crash Course in Basic Judaism.

Join Dr. Rena Secter Elbaze on a journey beyond the Judaism you think you know!

• Week 1: Belief in G -D: An exploration of humankind’s relationship with G-d, G-d’s role in the world and its history, and a discussion of the value of believing in G-d.
• Week 2: Prayer: Many people think of prayer as an act of the synagogue, but this class demonstrates that Jewish prayer is multifaceted, enabling both individual and communal communication with G-d, as well as an opportunity for self-reflection.
• Week 3: The Sabbath: An explanation of the Jewish concept of the Sabbath and a look at how the Sabbath is a truly enriching gift, especially in our modern era of ever-present technology.
• Week 4: Jewish Observance: An exploration of how the rituals of Jewish life build a moral framework to make our lives a more meaningful and enhanced society.
• Week 5: Sexuality: A discussion of how the physical unity in a relationship is elevated by the inclusion of a mature and committed understanding of our relationships with one another and with an awareness of every couple’s ability to build together and perfect the world.
