Registration Open for Introduction to Judaism

The Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation and the North Shore Rabbinic Association invite people studying for conversion to Judaism, and those of faiths other than Judaism who want to learn more about Judaism, to Introduction to Judaism, a 25-week course. The course will be taught by North Shore Rabbis and will include Hebrew, History, Holidays, Torah, Ethics, and Lifecycle. 

The course, which is free for individuals who live in the Foundation service area, will begin in September 2011. Introduction to Judaism is made possible by a generous allocation from the Jewish Federation of the North Shore.   

For more information or to register contact Phyllis Osher at  978-740-4404  or  posher@rilcf.org .

Teachers to Get Inspired!

Teachers in Jewish schools on the North Shore are invited to kick off the new school year with an early morning Inspirational Jewish Walk on Sunday, Aug. 21, from 8 to 10 a.m. at the beautiful Breakheart Reservation in Saugus. 

The morning’s topic is Spirit in Nature, Teaching Judaism and Ecology on the Trail. Teachers will learn how to create inspirational Jewish lessons using many of the North Shore’s beautiful natural surroundings. A free book full of wonderful teaching ideas to transform trails into exciting places of Jewish learning will be distributed to teachers who participate on the walk. 

Classes will meet once a month from October to February on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. at Woodbridge in Peabody. Topics will focus on new and exciting ways to make Jewish lessons more fun, engaging and enriching. Teachers will receive free materials at every class that can be used to plan exciting lessons.

Visit the Foundation’s website at  www.rilcf.org  or contact Phyllis Osher  (978-740-4404 ;  posher@rilcf.org ) for a list of dates and topics or to register for Inspirational Jewish Teaching. 

Inspirational Jewish Teaching is open to educators who teach in any of the Jewish schools in the Foundation’s service area, and is a free program of the Robert I.
