We offer courses to learn more about Judaism as well as guidance through the conversion process.  Please contact Rabbi Bonnie Koppell at rabbikoppell@templechai.com if you are interested in learning more about converting to Judaism.

Introduction to Judaism
This 18-week class is taught twice a year by local Reform rabbis, including the Temple Chai clergy.  The class provides a broad overview of Jewish history and texts, Jewish lifecycle observances, and Jewish holidays.  It also includes two structured Shabbat experiences- one Friday night and one Saturday morning.  Introduction to Judaism is a prerequisite for those who are considering conversion.  Students in Jewish families who want to know more find the class meaningful, and it’s a great way to renew your knowledge if you don’t remember Hebrew School!  There is a fee of $200 for the class for those who are members of a Reform congregation, and $280 for those unaffiliated.  The fee includes a +one family member whom we encourage you to invite.  Click here to learn more about this class and to register.
