Empowering Ruth: Hanukkah and the Jewish Gift Shop
Tuesday, November 02, 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. Hanukkah and Navigating the Jewish Gift Shop Participants will learn to navigate the challenges of family celebrations during the winter holiday season, hear various stories about the origins of Hanukkah, learn the place of women heroes in the Hanukkah story, celebrate Hanukkah in a meaningful and personal way and participate in Hanukkah rituals and activities, including lighting the menorah and playing dreidel.
