Are you considering CONVERTING TO or BECOMING MORE connected to JUDAISM?
The Louis & Judith Miller Introduction to Judaism Program

Taught by Rabbis, scholars and rabbinical students

How do you make a good program even better? After an extensive review of our Miller Introduction to Judaism Program, we have augmented our class with dynamic new presentations, active participant learning centered around biblical and rabbinic texts, renewed attention to spirituality, family, and Jewish values. The new and exciting Miller Program still brings you the full range of Jewish history, calendar and life cycle, observance and thought. This dynamic course is perfect for those seeking to live fuller Jewish lives - individuals contemplating conversion, those already married to Jews, or those born Jews who want to experience the vitality, beauty, joy and wisdom of Jewish living and tradition. This course will make Judaism come alive in one’s heart and home!
