Living a Jewish Life
Living a Jewish Life is CBI’s Introduction to Judaism Course
Class will meet online via Zoom Tuesdays, from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Please see below for exact dates and topics.
This introductory course is intended to convey information about the major facets of Judaism: holidays, lifecycle occasions, Israel, etc. Students in this class typically come from a variety of backgrounds: Born-Jews, Interfaith couples, folks who are interested in converting to Judaism and some are simply curious and would like to learn more about Judaism.
For those taking this class for the purpose of conversion; you will be expected to write journal entries, a book report, meet with your mentor 4 times throughout the year, and complete two end of the semester exams.
No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, Rabbi Folberg and Rabbi Levy look forward to teaching you along the way.
Registration for Spring 2021 is closed. If you have any questions, please reach out to Trish Ivey.
