Whether you're considering conversion, rediscovering your roots, or supporting a Jewish loved one, this course is for you.
The Miller Introduction to Judaism Program, developed by American Jewish University and taught by Metro DC-area rabbis from diverse denominations, offers a welcoming, multi-denominational journey into Jewish life, beliefs, and practices.
From big ideas to everyday rituals, this program helps you explore Judaism in a meaningful, accessible way—wherever you are on your journey.
