Where is God in times of tragedy? What’s Jewish about sex? 12 Jewish Questions is a learning community for adults – Jewish and non-Jewish – that draws upon 3,500 years of Jewish wisdom to deeply explore twelve of life’s most essential questions. Students leave this course with a more complex and nuanced appreciation of Jewish thought, a caring and supportive WHC community, and probably several more questions than they had when the course began.

Many of us feel scared and anxious as we anticipate the 2024 presidential election. We see toxic polarization and fragmentation nearly everywhere we look. How will we cope with the tension and resist being part of the cycle of polarization and division? Join Rabbi Rachel Schmelkin to discover what Judaism can teach us about navigating division and coming together across differences.

Designed for adults who hope to gain a broader foundation of our 3,500-year-old tradition, this 10-week course will (re)introduce you to Judaism’s most transformative texts, people, theological and historical trends, holidays, and more. Whether you’ve forgotten what you learned in religious school, or never attended religious school in your youth, we hope you will join this new learning community.
Whether you want to learn to speak Hebrew or be able to read the prayers (without transliteration!), we are here to help.
