On Solid Ground: Fundamentals of Judaism
On Solid Ground: Fundamentals of Judaism is an expansive exploration of the foundations of Judaism through, providing us a stable place from which to learn, study, practice, lead, create, ritualize, diverge, and innovate.  

This class is intended for:
- People who want to learn the basics of Jewish practice, history and tradition (including people who want to reclaim Jewish lineage, or are considering conversion)

- Those who want to fill in gaps from the Jewish education of their youth or to deepen their understanding in order to bring Judaism to their home, family, and/or community

- Folx who are keen to reconsider what they understand about Judaism, or even unlearn/relearn, in an anti-oppressionist framework



Sessions will take place live Sundays at 7pm ET/4pm PT and will all be recorded for review and/or access across timezones.
