Temple Israel Exploring Judaism

Exploring Judaism is now hybrid! The class will meet both in person and on Zoom on Wednesday nights from 7 to 8:15 PM, from January through April 2025. 

There is no charge for the class, but there is a required book to purchase.

Led by Rabbis and Temple Teachers, 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 December. If you have questions, please contact Rebecca Fox at rebeccaf@timemphis.org.
