An Introduction to Judaism

It’s not too late to sign up; class begins this week!

TEMV is partnering with three other Reform Jewish congregations in the Merrimack Valley to offer an exciting course on Judaism starting Tuesday, September 10! Rabbi Sparr will be one of four clergy co-leading the course. We hope many of you will attend and/or invite friends to do so! This course is a great choice for those who haven’t had lots of Jewish education or have forgotten what they learned as kids, as well as those new to or considering a Jewish life. All people, perspectives, and questions are welcome! Preregistration is required; see here for more details.
