The Jewish Welcome Workshop starts in September of each year and runs for 38 weeks, meeting on Thursday nights. Participants can enroll in either the 5:30 pm or 7:30 pm section. Designed for those in their 20s and 30s, this class is a mix of lectures, group activities, text studies, and holiday celebrations. No Hebrew language knowledge is required. Those wishing to convert will meet with one of the rabbis individually during the year and beyond. The rabbi—in consultation with you—determines when you are ready for the actual conversion.

An Introduction to Judaism class is a prerequisite for the Jewish Welcome Workshop. One option is our 5-week Basically Jewish course. You are welcome to take the introductory class somewhere else as well. Please email Leila for information about our next Basically Jewish offering or any questions you have about the Jewish Welcome Workshop.
