Introduction to Jewish Life - Jewish Journeys, Jewish Stories
This course is no longer offered.
The Exodus from Egypt is the Jewish 'master story' through which we can look deeply into many aspects of Jewish living. In this part of the series, we will use the Passover story and celebration as a framework within which to examine Jewish ideas about God, Jewish identity, Jewish food, and Jewish community.
This is part of a three-unit class. Visit the full series here.
Please visit the website http://jewishexperienceonline.com/marin/ that Rabbi Adar has set up for this class.

She holds an M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of Chicago and a B.A. in Economics from the University of Tennessee.
