Join this special Introduction to Judaism class with a cohort exclusively available to all who identify as female, non-binary, or genderqueer interested in exploring Judaism both through a traditional and gendered lens.
This course is designed for those who are curious to learn about Judaism, new to Judaism, or looking to deepen their knowledge and understanding of Reform Jewish practice and belief. In our 20 weekly sessions together, we will address Jewish holidays, life cycle, prayer, Tanakh, history, antisemitism and the Holocaust, Israel, the North American Jewish experience, and the diversity of the Jewish people today. The class will be taught by URJ rabbinic staff as well as WRJ’s CEO, Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch.
