What is Introduction to Judaism?  
Introduction to Judaism is a hands-on course that teaches beginners about the basics of Jewish thought and practice. The class runs 20 weeks and presents a mix of study, discussion and practical experiences designed for all interested in exploring a Jewish life for themselves--interfaith couples, non-Jews considering conversion, and Jews looking for adult-level basics. Topics include Jewish holidays and life cycle events, theology and prayer, Israel, and history.
