Considering conversion? Want to learn more about Judaism? The Pathways to Judaism program is an intensive 25-session “Introduction to Judaism” program suitable for those considering conversion and those who are “Jewcurious.” Over the last 40 years, the Jewish Discovery Institute has helped guide thousands of students on their Jewish journeys. The course opens the world of Jewish tradition and understanding to those who have little or no background.

Exceptional religious studies and “Introduction to Judaism” program
Experienced rabbinic educators with a warm, welcoming approach
Connect to community through significant Jewish experiences such as Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations and field trips
Full conversion support for those who choose to pursue it

We are supported by a generous grant from CJP. Scholarships are available. This course is taught through a collaborative educational partnership with the Miller Introduction to Judaism Program of American Jewish University.

Tekun Meeting

We had our first meeting of 2023 a few weeks ago and picked a few areas of focus for our work together this year:

Gun violence prevention
Affordable Housing
Health Care Advocacy and Support

Please join us this Thursday at 8:00 PM in Room 22 for our second meeting!

This time, we’ll be thinking about how we can best address these issues and about the role of our Social Justice Advisory Board and our Social Action Committees in supporting this work. This is a perfect place to connect with other members around social justice issues, to learn together about what’s already happening in our community, and to begin to do the important work of TEkun Olam together!

It’s an opportunity to meet new friends, to connect with old friends, and to make a difference with your synagogue community.
