September 28 - December 14, 2026
Take a deep dive into Judaism's core ideas, texts, and practices. In this class, explore what being Jewish has looked like in the past and scout ahead for what it could look like in the future. Judaism In-bound is a perfect course for those considering conversion, in multi-faith relationships, seeking to unlearn/relearn a new framing around Judaism, or just curious about Judaism.
This class is built around the notion that Judaism is constantly changing and is currently in a period of especially radical change. We believe that there is no singular way to teach “what Jews believe” or “what Jews do,” as Judaism and Jews are constantly evolving. Even more, it isn’t entirely clear how best to introduce people to something that may look very different before too long. As such, this class is a lecture series, a study club, and a spiritual laboratory; a class designed both to teach and to challenge mainstream Judaism. At the conclusion of this class, we hope that students will be familiar with longstanding tenets of Judaism and also feel empowered to experiment with what is most meaningful to them, viewing what they have learned as raw material that can be reshaped in their own lives the way an artist creates a sculpture out of clay.
LECTURE : 12 sessions
Dig deep into the multi-faceted nature of Jewish continuity through the lens of history, biblical story, folk ways, and innovation. “Lecture” classes are taught from an analytical point of view with room for conversation and processing.
LAB : 6 sessions
Inbound in action! These are experiential sessions designed to try on Jewish traditions, rituals, and ideas in ways that are immersive and build community.
Worried about missing a class? Don’t worry! All lecture classes have a video component that you can catch up on asynchronously.
This course is available at a sliding scale cost of $499 (the true cost), $399 or $299.
If you can afford the full price, we hope you will choose that option, which allows us to continue to offer lower rates and scholarships to those who otherwise would not be able to access this learning because of financial barriers.
If you need financial aid beyond the sliding scale, please fill out this form, and we will get right back to you.
