Kehilla Community Synagogue Adult Education

Jewish History From A Radical Perspective

Begins Wed., April 5, 7:30pm

Taught by Rabbi David J. Cooper

    
     This five-session class is the first of four major classes to be taught over the next year that are available to anyone, but especially for folks who may be interested in Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah or conversion to Judaism.   It will examine how Judaism has been an evolving civilization with an evolving consciousness from age to age. It will also examine what role Kehilla and Jewish Renewal play in this evolution.  Our text will be A Short History of the Jewish People by Raymond Scheindlin. This book gives good succinct background in the facts of Jewish history. I am a bit critical of the chapters on modern Jewish experience, but in general the book is a useful overview. For the first class, you may want to read through page 33.
