This five-week workshop meets on Wednesdays, October 29, November 5, 12, 19, and December 3 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm Additionally, Shabbat on Friday, November 21, at 7:00 pm is a requirement of the course.

Rabbi Jenna leads an experiential introduction to Judaism course designed for those looking to reconnect with Judaism, as well as non-Jews looking to discover. This five-week course allows students to develop a deeper connection with the Jewish faith through a digestible, experiential introduction to Jewish traditions, customs, and rituals.

This is a four-week discussion-based course designed for couples in their 20s and early 30s who do not yet have children. The workshop is held four to five times throughout the year. This cohort meets on Thursdays, October 30, November 6, 13, and 20 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm. Shabbat on Friday, November 21, is included in this workshop, with a complimentary ticket for our dinner service.

Rabbi Jenna facilitates a guided, nonjudgmental space for Jews and their non-Jewish partners to talk, learn, and grow–together and as individuals. Each week the class discusses case studies, written by the couples, on a specific instance that the Jewish and non-Jewish partner felt raised questions in their relationship.

Text studies and articles supplement the class. Couples should make time for an additional hour each week to discuss the case studies with their partners.
Registration for this series closes Friday, October 24 at 5:00 pm.

Thousands of Jews forced to flee Europe settled in the United States, and now their descendants are looking back. What is tempting Jews to obtain European passports? And what does it mean to return to the countries that persecuted their family members? On the 87th anniversary of Kristallnacht, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Holocaust survivors will share with us their family's Holocaust story and take us on the journey that led to their attaining citizenship by descent in the countries their families narrowly escaped. Meet Anne Hand, author of Austrian Again as well as Temple Rodef Shalom members Renee and Bill Andrews and Melani Spiegel.

This class meets Wednesdays November 12, 19, and December 3 and 10 from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. Tickets are non-refundable.

As Israel's war in Gaza continues, many people have found themselves in conversations they don't feel equipped to handle or feel hesitant to engage, at a loss for words, or confused about what to believe. Others find themselves at painful odds with friends and family and feel forced to choose a side.

In this series–adapted from the Tovanot: Generating Insight and Understanding, Building Community Resilience program–dive deep into the most complex questions related to Israel/Palestine, lean into discomfort, feel more at home in your values, and adopt a more expansive view of the conflict with the goal of building confidence in expressing your positions, especially in polarized environments. Using a dual-narrative approach to understanding the historical and political landscape in Israel, Tovanot rejects binary thinking, instead encouraging a rigorous and sober expl
