Derekh Torah/Judaism 101

Overview

Welcome to 21st century Judaism: an 18-week immersion into the most meaningful, rich and joyful aspects of Jewish life. 

DESCRIPTION:  

This course is designed for seekers of all backgrounds: those exploring conversion, people partnered with someone Jewish, Jews by birth or choice, and anyone curious about Jewish tradition and lived experience. No prior knowledge is required — only openness and curiosity. 

Over 18 weeks, we will explore Jewish thought, culture, spirituality, and practice through multiple voices and perspectives. Together, we’ll ask big questions and small ones, engage with sacred texts, mark holidays, and encounter the rhythms of Jewish ritual and community. Our approach honors pluralism through the diversity of Jewish expression and affirms that there are many authentic ways to live a Jewish life and that is never too late to begin your path 

Join us at 6:30 p.m. for a brief weekly Hebrew lesson before class begins. Learn how to read Hebrew in order to better access a wide variety of prayer services as well as the Torah and other sacred Jewish texts. 

Dates: 

Fall 2026 - Tuesdays, 7-9 p.m.
