Basic Judaism: An Intro to Jewish Life, Text, and Ideas – with Ben Resnick

This course will provide an opportunity to learn about Jewish traditions, holidays, history, and life cycle events in an interactive and engaging way. Through ancient texts and modern media, participants will learn to navigate Jewish prayer and will get a comfort with the texts, symbols, and ideas that shape Jewish life today. Taught by Ben Resnick, a Rabbinical Student at the Jewish Theological Seminary, this course aims to give participants the tools to conduct Jewish ritual at home and the faculty to ask the challenging questions about the Jewish faith and Israel. We welcome individuals and couple who wish to know more about Judaism as well as those considering becoming Jewish. E-mail us at info@brooklynjews.org for more information.
