Temple Sinai in Oakland and Congregation Beth El in Berkeley are joining together to offer Introduction to Judaism beginning in October 2024. Learn with Beth El and Sinai clergy about the rituals, holidays, beliefs, big questions, and complexities of Judaism in a welcoming and communal environment. This class is open to all - the Jewish adult who wishes to discover or deepen Jewish knowledge, non-Jews with a Jewish partner or just curious to learn more about Judaism, or those considering choosing Judaism. Participants register for each trimester separately and trimesters may be taken in any order. Please email Rabbi Bressler (rabbibressler@oaklandsinai.org) for questions or to learn more.
