Introduction to Judaism Course October 9, 2006

Want to explore Jewish beliefs about . . .

God? Afterlife? The messiah? Sex? Good and evil? Reward and punishment? How and why Jews pray?

Delve into these and other questions in an interactive, fun, and friendly course for Jews and all others who want to learn about Judaism. The course is a good introduction for those who haven't yet had a chance to learn much about Jewish life. It will also offer those who studied as children or teens, but not since, a new look at Judaism from a truly adult point of view. Explore Jewish life, faith, and practice, including:

* holidays
* life cycle rituals
* the Torah & other key texts
* connection to the Land of Israel.
