Come explore the rich fabric of Judaism with instructor Rabbi JoHanna Potts! Using traditional texts and modern examples, we will cover the fundamentals of Jewish life, including Shabbat and holidays, prayer, lifecycle rituals, ethics, and beliefs. This class is ideal for learners with questions—whether you’ve never studied Judaism before in your life, you’re looking for a Hebrew School refresher, or you’re somewhere in between!

The fall session will be held on Thursday evenings, September 18–November 20, 2025. No class: October 2 and October 23. This class will be held in a hybrid format, but we encourage you to join in person as often as possible.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Rabbi Atara at acohen@edcjcc.org.
