You’re curious about Judaism and what this 3,000 year old tradition has to offer your life? Welcome.

I’m so excited to invite Lab/Shul to this brand new 18 part course, beginning Feb. 23rd, in which I will share with some of the highlights, core concepts, master stories, key figures and building blocks of what Judaism means to me, what it has meant to so many generations before us, and why I find it a compelling path towards a life of meaning, mindfulness, creativity and connection.

Each of the 18 concepts chosen to outline this course offer a glimpse into Judaism’s emphasis on a life of learning, spiritual practice and communal responsibility. Topics include:

KODESH/SACRED – Sanctifying Space and Time
HALACHA/THE PATH OF LAW – Walk the Talk, from Legendary to Legalistic Rendering of Jewish Life.
MINYAN/COMMUNITY – Who’s in, Who Counts? The Evolving Norms of Communal Culture
HINENI/HERE I AM – Cultivating Spiritual Practice

This is an everybody-friendly course, open to all seekers regardless of background or beliefs. Curiosity, respect for others and an open mind and heart are mostly all that’s needed.
