Facilitated by Rabbi Miriam Terlinchamp
Take a deep dive into Judaism's core ideas, texts, and practices. This class explores what being Jewish has looked like in the past and scouts ahead for what it could look like in the future. Part lecture series, part study club, and part spiritual laboratory, this series is designed to teach about and challenge mainstream Judaism. This introduction to Judaism course is built around the notion that Judaism is constantly changing and is in a period of especially radical change. We believe that there is no singular way to teach “what Jews believe” or “what Jews do.”
Judaism Inbound is an introduction to Judaism class that covers Judaism as a religion, Judaism as history, and Judaism as a culture, with a “spiritual but not religious” approach. It is meant for a wide variety of people, but a perfect course for those considering conversion, in multifaith relationships, seeking to unlearn/relearn a new framing around Judaism, or just curious about Judaism.
Course participants will also have opportunities for learning and community building, including a 24-hour Sabbath retreat, special topic workshops, rabbinic mentorship, and more. These benefits are optional and provided at no additional cost for enrolled students.
Presented in partnership by the Mayerson JCC and Judaism Unbound
COURSE TOPICS:
Jewish Beginnings
Thinking Jewish: Foundational Jewish Ideas
Learning Jewish: Foundational Jewish Texts
Believing Jewish: God (and God optional and no God)
Jewish Peoplehood: Antisemitism, Zionism & Blurred Lines of Allegiance
Conclusion: Innovation and Inspiration

ARCHIE RAND’S THE SEVENTEEN: IRON FLOCK
Monday, May 5
1pm | Cincinnati Skirball Museum
$10 includes tour and transportation
Let’s visit our local Skirball Musuem for a docent-led tour. Archie Rand’s The Seventeen: Iron Flock is a multicanvas mural depicting seventeen biblical women and encourages conversation about the diverse roles women play in Jewish history and religion. Rand sees Iron Flock as “a grouping of Jewish heroes who are women, appearing in an underreported story that should have a painted monument sampling the collective.” Produced for the sixth Jerusalem Biennale in the Spring of 2024, Rand draws on this phrase from the Mishnah that declares the inalienable assets that women bring to a marriage. A more contemporary interpretation views women themselves as assets to the Jewish people, and it is this praise that inspired Rand’s paintings.
