Introduction to the Jewish Experience: The People Israel
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 part of a three-unit class. Visit the full series here.
