This session will be held in person here at Congregation Mishkan Israel. We would love for you to join us!

Introduction to Judaism began in September 2025 with most classes on zoom. This class will allow you to learn more about your Jewish heritage or prepare you or a loved one for the process of conversion. This is a combined course offered under the auspices of the Board of Rabbis and Cantors, with a number of synagogues co-sponsoring. This 20+ week class explores the basics of Judaism, including history, prayer, sacred texts, and holiday celebrations.

Each student will need a rabbinic sponsor. 

Classes will be held from 7:30 p.m. to approximately 8:30 p.m. EST on select Wednesday evenings. Exceptions, such as those for holiday gatherings, are noted in the schedule below.

The cost of the class is $72 for members of an area Jewish congregation, or $180 for non-members.
