JUDAISM FOR DUMMIES: A THREE PART SERIES
Sundays, 10:00–11:00 AM | October 18, October 25 & November 8
Rabbi Adam Rosenwasser will lead this three-part series exploring the main pillars of Judaism, with plenty of opportunity to learn, ask questions, and discover what makes Jewish tradition and practice meaningful.
This is especially a great opportunity for interfaith families. If you have a Jewish partner or spouse and want to better understand their traditions, are raising children with Jewish traditions, or simply want to learn more about the Jewish side of your family, this series is designed to be accessible and welcoming. You do not need to be Jewish to participate!
Come to all three sessions or join us for just one. There is no charge, and everyone is welcome — but RSVP is required.
Refreshments will be served.
