Empowering Ruth: Negotiating Differences
Tuesday, September 28, 2010 | 07:30 PM to 09:00 PM     
After Conversion Now What? Every year, many women choose to convert to Judaism. While all Jews-by-choice receive some kind of formal Jewish education, conversion classes tend to focus on the "whats" and "whys" of Judaism, not the "how-to's." That's why the Jewish Outreach Institute (JOI) developed the Empowering Ruth program, a course that offers women who have recently converted to Judaism practical, hands-on learning in Jewish living, home observance, new rituals, lifecycle events and much more. This uniquely designed program piloted in New York City, and is now set to premier in our community this fall. Negotiating Differences Participants learn the similarities and differences between the Jewish denominations, discuss challenges surrounding conversion policies in the various denominations and learn to apply different methods in approaching difficult conversations about conversion and Judaism.
