Exploring Judaism is now hybrid! The class will meet both in person and on Zoom on Wednesday nights from 7 to 8 PM, beginning January 4 through April 19, 2023. There is no charge for the class, but the book required for the course is $34. You will receive the link to order the book upon registration.

Led by Temple Israel clergy, Exploring Judaism is for anyone born Jewish, interested in Judaism, or entering marriage with a Jewish partner. We will explore Jewish belief and thought through the reality of a pluralistic Jewish world and consistent with historic Jewish tradition. This class is a required prerequisite for those contemplating conversion to Judaism. This class is also highly recommended for lifelong Jews seeking to grow and learn more about Judaism on an adult level.

If you are planning on converting to Judaism through Temple Israel, you are required to attend at least 80% of the classes.

Please be on the lookout for an email with the course outline and Zoom link, which you should receive in late December. Information will also be posted to timemphis.org/exploring. If you have questions, please contact Emma Figarsky, Crosstown and Programs Manager, at emmaf@timemphis.org.
