Join Rabbi Stacy for a monthly Lifelong Learning class, Crash Course: Judaism. This class is open to all adults who want to learn more about the rituals that weave their way into everyday Jewish life.
Ever wonder where the ritual of candle lighting came from? Or why there are blessings before AND after we eat?
Then this class is for you!
Our March 26 session will explore the Pesach seder.
