Introduction to Judaism
Overview
Bring your questions and come as you are whether you’re rediscovering your heritage, you’re soul searching or seeking your community, connecting with your partner, considering conversion, or a lifelong learner.
We know you’ve got questions – and so do we – we can’t wait to discuss them all with you! Be curious, be courageous, we are eager to together explore big ideas, the wisdom, depth, and joy of Jewish living. Take your next steps towards finding the community where you truly belong.
The Miller Introduction to Judaism Program developed at American Jewish University is for Jews and non-Jews who want to learn more, regardless of their background.
Co-sponsored by the Baltimore Board of Rabbis.
For questions or more information on any of our programs, please contact Rabbi Ariel Platt.
