What does it really mean to be Jewish today? In a world where identity is constantly questioned and belonging is complex, this six-session course offers a powerful exploration of what ties us together as a people. More than a history lesson, this is a vital conversation about what it means to be Jewish right now. From the story of the Exodus to the meaning of "Chosenness," from daily rituals like Kashrut to the role of Israel as a central focus for Jewish identity, we’ll unpack the values, symbols, and struggles that shape our people and find their connection to our daily lives. Together, we’ll wrestle with big questions, discover personal meaning, and uncover how understanding "the Tribe" – our shared history, values, and responsibilities – gives us tools to respond to the challenges of our time, both individually and collectively. Join us on this journey to empower us to live more meaningful Jewish lives and create a more just world.
