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.

Followed by Optional Dinner and Learning with Rabbi Michael Marmur
Rabbi Michael Marmur, our Wisdom & Wonder speaker, will participate in our Shabbat Evening Service. We will also hear from The Giving Tree as they launch their annual Holiday Wish List Program.
In this week’s Torah portion we read of the Binding of Isaac, often read as the classic example of religious certainty. In this session, and in Rabbi Michael Marmur’s remarks during Friday night Shabbat services, we will highlight doubt rather than certainty, and suggest that doubt is to be embraced as a crucial tool rather than demonized or rejected. Where does doubt figure in Jewish tradition? Come to the session and find out!
Wisdom & Wonder invites you to engage with deep questions, explore new ideas, and learn from dynamic scholars.
Dinner Prices:
Members: $38 per person
Guests of Members: $43 per person

About the Panelists
Karin Klein is a founding partner at Bloomberg Beta, an early-stage venture capital firm investing in the future of work with a focus on artificial intelligence. Prior to launching Bloomberg Beta, she led new initiatives at Bloomberg, oversaw Softbank’s venture team that reviewed new investments, and co-founded an educational training business for children. Karin also currently serves on the board of directors for Regency Centers and Paramount and enjoys volunteering as a mentor with Techstars, the University of Toronto’s Creative Destruction Lab, and the New York City Economic Development Corporation. She has an M.B.A. from The Wharton School and is a summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the Annenberg School of Communications and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Matt Savarick is CEO and Co-Founder of Vibe GTM, where he helps B2B companies install AI-powered revenue systems that scale without burnout. With 15+ years scaling companies like Headspace and Talkspace, Matt specializes in building what he calls “compounding leverage” – systems that multiply output without multiplying effort. His Lean Revenue Engine™ has helped 100+ executives generate over $500M in new revenue while doubling efficiency per employee. Drawing on expertise in neuroscience and behavioral science, Matt bridges cutting-edge AI implementation with human-centered leadership, helping organizations grow intelligently rather than just growing bigger.

Tanner Stevens is a rare AI builder-strategist who repeatedly turns frontier ideas into dependable, audit-ready systems at scale. He creates knowledge-linked generative applications, document intelligence pipelines, and vision-driven decision tools that respect privacy by default and operate near the point of work—even in demanding field environments. His impact spans telecom, finance, public sector, healthcare, sports, and travel, with launches for organizations such as Moody’s Analytics, Warner Brothers, Boulder, Comcast, CareFirst, and Janus Henderson Investors. Beyond inventing breakthrough capabilities, he installs the surrounding production discipline—repeatable evaluation, live oversight, and release practices—so the innovation endures and earns trust from boards, regulators, and front-line operators alike. Known for creative yet defensible applications—agentic workflows with immutable, policy-approved content; small-data strategies (self-supervised pre-training, K-Fold, synthetic data) that reach production-grade quality—Tanner pairs scientific rigor with operational credibility to deliver AI that ships, scales, and stands up to audit.

William Haas Evans integrates foresight and strategy with Human-Centered Design to help global organizations adapt, shape, and grow their markets. He founded Fugue, a boutique strategic advisory firm working with global clients to navigate complex transitions and build sustainable futures. Will has led strategic initiatives for Fortune 50 companies across diverse industries, including Johnson & Johnson, Whirlpool, Autotrader, and Hearst. He has designed and launched game-changing unicorns like Kayak.com and Honey, and transformed enterprise product organizations to accelerate cultures of continuous discovery and delivery.
Inspired by the next generation of design thinkers and lean innovators, Will served as the first Design-Thinker-in-Residence at NYU’s Stern School of Business. He has run design hackathons with Simon Sinek at TED Global and keynoted internationally on foresight, strategy, innovation, and service design at conferences including SxSW, TEDx, Dubai Futures Forum, GCGC Riyadh, and Agile Alliance.
Will earned his Master’s from MIT in Cognitive and Brain Science and Human-Computer Interaction, and a Bachelor’s in Mathematics from Occidental College. He is JONAH-certified in Theory of Constraints from the Goldratt Institute in Israel. Will lives in Boca Raton with his wife, Rabbi Laila Haas, and their five-year-old son Asher, who is embracing beginner’s mind and developing his craft as a designer.
