This is part of a 4-week course in Basic Judaism at HCRJ led by Rabbi Steve Gross. This class is designed for adults who wish to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of Jewish history, beliefs and practices. Basic Judaism is an ideal course for everyone at HCRJ and serves as a wonderful overview for newcomers to our faith.
