Introduction to the Jewish Experience Part III: The People Israel

This course is no longer offered.

Who is a Jew? Who are the Jews? We will explore these questions by looking at Jewish life from many different angles: kashrut, Israel, the movements of Judaism (Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionism and Renewal), Jewish institutions and the relationship of Judaism and its sister religions, Christianity and Islam.

This class is the third part of a three-unit class.

Rabbi Ruth Adar

Rabbi Ruth Adar loves teaching "Intro," partly because she was once an Intro student herself. Currently Rabbi Adar is the "Coffee Shop Rabbi" teaching unaffiliated Jews in informal spaces all over the East Bay. Rabbi Adar attended Hebrew Union College, receiving ordination in May, 2008. She holds an M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of Chicago and a B.A. in Economics from the University of Tennessee. She recently published an article in Reform Jewish Quarterly, "Ethical Priorities in Giving Tzedakah."
