The second session will be a general learning session of that weekly sedrah/portion. We will also discuss notable Jewish personalities, from celebrities to prophets and kings. There will also be special topics such as gossip and evolution.

Fifth Module: Chapter 5 - Shabbat
Miller Intro to Judaism Program
If you're thinking of converting to Judaism: Completion of the Intro Program fulfills the learning requirements for conversion of the Rabbinical Assembly of America. Once you finish the course requirements and secure a sponsoring rabbi, you are eligible to become officially part of the Jewish People.
If you're already Jewish: Whether you were born Jewish but never quite learned what it’s all about, you’re back after a long hiatus, or you’re just looking for a deeper understanding of your heritage, most of us could use a bit of a refresher. Jews from all walks of life enroll in the program: from people who had a Jewish day school education to those whose strongest connection was the annual box of matza on the kitchen counter.
More details to follow. Please let us know if you're interested. Application is attached below or reply with request for more information
The 26th Annual
Shabbat Across America and Canada
is March 4, 2022!
On one special night, tens of thousands of North American Jews will come together in spiritual unison with Jews across the continent and with thousands of years of tradition. Now is your chance to be counted in this campaign that encourages Jews of all backgrounds to come together and celebrate what unifies us all: The Shabbat.
Due to the continued spread of the COVID-19 and heeding the recommendation of medical professionals to forego large indoor gatherings, NJOP is not planning our usual, in-person Shabbat Across America and Canada celebration in 2022. Instead, we will be inviting people to bring Shabbat Across America and Canada home, focusing on individuals, couples and families, to celebrate in their homes on March 4, 2022.
Stay tuned for further details!
