LIVINGSTON, NJ — TBA’s Congregational Learning offers classes in “History Through Text” with Rabbi Clifford Kulwin throughout the year at Temple B’nai Abraham, 300 East Northfield Road, Livingston. The topic this year is “The Jewish Religion.” Taught in blocks of several weeks, each class will also be a stand-alone unit so that an inability to attend all or even most of the sessions will not be an impediment to an enjoyable and stimulating learning experience. All sessions are free and open to the community.
On Thursday, May 10, at 7 p.m., “Liberal Judaism in America” will be explored. Reform and Conservative Judaism were born in Germany, but America is where they flourished, becoming the dominant forces in American Jewish religious life. Formal resolutions by governing bodies and writings by leading rabbis make it clear what these movements wanted to achieve. They also give insight into why this country has been so good for Jews, which itself says a lot about Judaism.
The last class in the series will be held Thursday, June 14. To register or for more information, visit www.tbanj.org or call 973-994-2290.
