PERSONAL ENRICHMENT WORLD RELIGIONS LECTURE SERIES Religions are not objects of curiosity to be perused like artifacts in a museum. Rather, they are lived experiences that provide profound meaning for those within them. Our religious traditions have endured for so many years because they have profoundly touched so many lives. Our study together is ultimately about these people - roughly two thirds of the world population whose lives are inextricably tied to their religious traditions and history. Not just the facts of religions, this lecture series is to appreciate the internal logic behind their world views and engage some of the common myths and misconceptions for each religion.
JUDAISM

Judaism, the eldest of the Religions of Abraham, has often been its most misunderstood. In this class, we reconstruct its origins and share the Jewish vision for the world, both in its ancient and modern forms. We will journey into a Jewish world of ritual, mysticism, and divine commandments to reveal its life-affirming message but also its most pressing challenges for the modern world.
