This class, taught by Rav Shai, is designed for those of you who would like a refresher of the basics in a systematic way or who might have a gap or two in your knowledge base you'd like to fill. It's also for folks who are thinking about joining the People of Israel -- and for their loved ones to see what all the fuss is about!

This class will run for 24 sessions, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and follow The Great Courses' "Introduction to Judaism" course taught by a much younger version of myself. The class is wide open to friends and family. My only request is that you view/listen to the relevant class session before we convene. (The 24 sessions are 30 minutes each, and you'll listen/watch those on your own.) That way, at 7:45, we'll be able to review, explain, expand, and relate the content of the session to our unique predicament.

You can order the Introduction to Judaism (Course #6423) in DVD format for $39.95 with the audio streaming free of charge. This discounted rate will run from now through December 31, 2020. To receive this discount when placing your order, please call 1.800.832.2412, mention my name, and Reference Code 48.
