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. 

While students do not need to be seeking conversion to take Judaism Inbound, it is a pre-requisite for our conversion class. To learn more check out our conversion resources here!

This class will be recorded and available to enrolled students to watch later.

This class is not eligible for rabbinical school credit.

Cost

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.
