Outstanding and experienced faculty encourage students to raise questions and engage deeply and personally with the material.

Open to all, this course is designed for interfaith couples, adults those raising Jewish children, spiritual seekers, individuals considering conversion, and Jews who want a meaningful adult Jewish learning experience.
