A TASTE OF JUDAISM...Are You Curious? Three classes exploring or re-exploring the foundations of Jewish tradition for those who may want to reconnect or who may be searching for an entrée into Jewish life. The course covers the Jewish perspective on spirituality, values and community. Our clergy will use traditional and modern Jewish texts to discuss the ways that Judaism addresses issues in our personal and professional lives. Do you have friends who have asked you questions about Judaism? Do you know any unaffiliated Jews or interfaith families who want an easy-access introduction to Jewish life? Hebrew Classes and Anshei Mitzvah…Discover your Jewish Identity Anshei Mitzvah is an opportunity for those adults who have never had a Bar or Bat Mitzvah to participate in intensive group study that will culminate in being called to the Torah and leading Shabbat services for the entire congregation. To get started, you must enroll in our Hebrew program or have basic Hebrew knowledge. Hebrew 101 and 102 are prerequisites to taking Anshei Mitzvah Hebrew. Participants who have already completed Hebrew 101 and 102 are eligible to begin their study with Anshei Mitzvah Hebrew. If you have prior Hebrew knowledge you will be able to begin with Anshei Mitzvah Hebrew at the discretion of Susan Jacobs, Director of Education. Please call 704.749.3045 to arrange an appointment. Following the basic Hebrew courses, all participants will begin Anshei Mitzvah Hebrew taught by Susan Jacobs and master teacher, Barbara Feld. Hebrew 101 and 102 will be offered summer and fall of 2009 and are open to anyone interested in learning Hebrew. There is no obligation to join the Anshei Mitzvah program and there will be a conversational Hebrew option for those wishing to continue their Hebrew study without participating in Anshei Mitzvah. Anshei Mitzvah Hebrew classes will begin in spring of 2010. Anshei Mitzvah clergy study will begin fall of 2010. The Anshei Mitzvah Shabbat service will be in May, 2011.
