Starts Tuesday January 11, 2022 – Come take a deep dive into Jewish literacy and practice. This program will combine classroom learning and discussion with workshops on central Jewish topics culminating in a personal ceremony and celebration.
The Goal of the program is for students to experience:
- Making meaning from Jewish sacred text
- Gaining a sense of the scope of Jewish History
- Understanding the spiritual meaning within Jewish lifecycle rituals
- Unpacking the deeper meanings found within the Jewish calendar cycle
- Surveying Jewish ethics and values
- Finding meaning and beauty within Jewish liturgy and developing a personal practice
- Exploring topics and issues within Jewish theology and philosophy
The course will run for 20 sessions, roughly twice a month on Tuesday evenings beginning on 11 January. Beyond class attendance, participants will be expected to attend Shabbat services at least once a month, and there will be occasional projects and journaling.
The course will meet in-person when possible, but Zoom will remain an option for those who prefer this.
If you never had the opportunity to have a B’nei Mitzvah experience or if you want to have this experience in a more personalized and deep way from an adult perspective, this course is for you!
This course is available only to Emanu-El members and is free of charge.
