52. Intro to Judaism class
Happy New Year! Now that it’s the end of the year, I suppose it’s time I blogged again…
This December, I finally completed the UJ’s Intro to Judaism class. I started in October of 2006, and it took me just over a year to complete the 18 classes, multiple extracurricular assignments, and final exam. In that time, I learned more than I ever thought possible about Jewish history, language, and culture.
I’d highly recommend the class to anyone interested in an in-depth look at Judaism. I’m planning to convert in a few weeks, but that’s certainly not a requirement of the class. (By the way, the UJ’s now the AJU).

Studying Jewish history and culture is very interesting (regardless of your own religious beliefs) AND it makes references in the New Testament make a whole lot more sense.
And man, there are more Jewish Holidays/Festivals than you can shake a stick at…Purim anyone? (And is it just a coincidence that Purim and St. Patty’s Day are so close together?)
