“This curriculum has strengthened our capacity for outreach and in-reach and changed how we look at Intro to Judaism and the conversion process.“
Rabbi Miriam Terlinchamp | Temple Sholom, Cincinnati, OH
By the end of the Miller Program, students will be able to:
1. Name the major historical events and trends from the Biblical period to today and explain their significance for Judaism’s development.
2. Name the major holidays of the Jewish calendar, along with their essential stories, themes, and observances.
3. Identify the key features and rituals of the Jewish lifecycle, including ceremonies to mark birth, adolescence, marriage, and death.
4. Articulate and give the meaning of aspects of Jewish daily observance, both in ritual practices (Shabbat, kashrut, and prayer) and ethics (tzedaka, tikkun olam).
5. Reflect on their relationship with Judaism and identify ways to continue to expand upon their study and practice of Judaism in their daily lives. (Only applicable for those pursuing conversion.)
