Temple Emanu-El will offer its 17th year of free Taste of Judaism classes beginning next month.
The program explores Judaism in three two-hour sessions on Jewish spirituality, values and community, taught by Temple Emanu-El’s rabbis. In Tucson, the national outreach program, open to all, has had over 5,800 participants in the past 16 years.
Temple Emanu-El will continue to partner with Tucson Hebrew Academy on a Taste of Judaism family class. At the same time as the regular Taste class for adults, a separate children’s class will be taught by a THA teacher.
Daytime and evening classes are offered in various locations and include “tastes” of traditional Jewish foods. Pre-registration is required to Mila Vasser at 327-4501 or mila@tetucson.org.
