Introduction to Judaism is open to Jews and non-Jews alike. Often, a Jewish partner, friend, or family member will choose to accompany the prospective convert to the classes. This class is also useful for non-Jews who do not intend to convert but are interested in learning more about Judaism. It is also helpful for people who were born and raised as Jews but feel as though they never received a solid Jewish education. All are welcome.
Please note: this is not a drop-in course. Registration is required for the full 18-session program so participants can enjoy the complete learning experience.

Shabbat Evening Services: Are We the Ever Dying People? A Case Study in Jewish Resilience with Rabbi Michael Paley (Wisdom & Wonder Series)
2026-01-16 18:00 - 20:00 UTC | Temple Beth El – Schaefer Family Campus, 333 SW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, FL, 33432, United States
We’re so sorry, this event has reached capacity. For any questions, please contact Susie Federman at SFederman@tbeboca.org . Thank you.
6:00 pm Shabbat Services
Followed by Optional Dinner and Learning with Rabbi Michael Paley
Rabbi Michael Paley, our Wisdom & Wonder speaker, will participate in our Shabbat Evening Service.
In 1967, Prof. Simon Rawidowicz’s article, “Israel: The Ever Dying People” was published 10 years after his death. The 1950’s had been a time of Jewish optimism but around the Six Day War fear had returned to the Jewish community. The essay focused on how every generation of Jews feels they are the last ones. Antisemitism, pogroms, expulsions and assimilation were always about to overcome us. In our times, we are no different. So how did we not only survive but thrive? Together we will explore the challenges of the post Holocaust, post-Communist Hungarian Jewish community as a case study of Jewish innovation and resilience.
Dinner and Learning Experience Pricing:
Members: $35 per person
Guests of Members: $40 per person
Prices increase by $5 per person as of Monday, January 5.

We will learn about how and why Islam grew so fast and what happened when it confronted the modern world. Terms and perspectives will be clarified and put into a broader context to help us understand the ideals and realities in Islam.
