Welcome to Judaism – An introductory course at Tifereth Israel

“Welcome to Judaism” is a four-semester course designed for adults in the community, both Jewish and non-Jewish, who would like to get a better understanding of Jewish religion, culture and history. Topics will include history, Bible, beliefs, holidays, practices, Israel and much more.

The course provides Jewish community members an opportunity to fill gaps in whatever past education they’ve received, and provides background for those who don’t feel comfortable or conversant with certain aspects of their Judaism.

This is a four-semester course that meets for eight one-hour sessions per semester, on Monday evenings at 7, for a total of 32 sessions. The four semesters are in spring 2016, fall 2016, spring 2017 and fall 2017. The first session begins March 21.  All sessions will be held at Tifereth Israel Congregation, 145 Brownell Ave, New Bedford, Mass. 

Tifereth Israel was established in 1921 and is affiliated with The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the Synagogue Council of Massachusetts.

Registration is required. There is no charge for this course. Interested parties should contact the synagogue office at office@tinewbedford.org or 508-997-3171.
