This three-session class is designed to prepare participants to understand Jewish belief, practices, and the idea of Jewish Peoplehood (the Jewish connection to each other as a People and to the State of Israel) deeply yet succinctly enough to be able to explain these ideas and practices to others, including children and their teachers; neighbors, co-workers and bosses; and particularly those who may hold misconceptions about Jews and Judaism. This class will include how to respond to the 10 most common questions and misconceptions about Jewish Belief, Practice, and Peoplehood in thoughtful ways. 

This class is appropriate for those of every background and level of Jewish knowledge. Open to the community.
