Taste of Judasim may be scheduled for Spring, 2012. This three-week class, developed by the Union of Reform Judaism, is free and open the community. The main themes are: God (spirituality), Torah (ethics) and Israel (community). This class has been well-received in the New Bern community for the past several years and is geared to Jews who want to get a better handle on the basics of their tradition, and to non-Jews who want to understand the basics of Judaism.

Keep an eye on this page for updates of these and other programs, or email marluhrs@gmail.com, to receive notification when the schedule is set.
