Introduction to Jewish Life - Marin

This three-part course is designed to serve as an introduction to Jewish living for adults—Jewish and non-Jewish—who want to learn more about the religion, texts, culture and traditions. There will be an emphasis on Jewish "doing" and on practical Jewish spirituality rather than on philosophy or theology, but Rabbi Adar welcomes all questions!

Each part can stand on its own as a separate course, and the three may be taken in any order. We welcome new students in the fall, winter, and spring. See below for descriptions of each part of the series.

Please visit the website http://jewishexperienceonline.com/marin/ that Rabbi Adar has set up for this class.
