Beyond the Bagel: Intro to Judaism

MEETS WEDNESDAYS BEGINNING 9/13/23
8:20 PM IN THE HILLEL LIBRARY (52 MT. AUBURN ST. 2ND FLOOR)

 

Just drop in! The classes do not build on each other; come to as many or as few as you like.
 

Step beyond the ordinary and immerse yourself in the vibrant tapestry of Jewish life with Harvard Hillel's introduction to Judaism class.

Whether you're a curious spiritual seeker or a day school graduate, this transformative journey is your passport to a deeper exploration of Judaism. Delve into the heart of the Jewish tradition each week with a different captivating facet of Jewish life, from the soul-searching of Yom Kippur to the profound question of why humans are here on earth. Engage in thought-provoking discussions that empower you to make informed choices about embracing rituals, be it Shabbat's tranquility, the mindful realm of kosher eating, or love, sex, and intimacy. At Harvard Hillel, everyone is invited to the feast of knowledge.

Please email Rabbi Getzel Davis with any questions.
