The Rabbinical Assembly is pleased to announce its official adoption of the Miller Introduction to Judaism Program, created by American Jewish University, as a highly recommended curriculum for our kehillot in North America to use with conversion candidates and others seeking to find their home in our community.
The Introduction Program provides an exceptional, eighteen unit, foundational curriculum - which can then be supplemented and made your own as you guide your students on a path to Jewish belonging. AJU's Intro curriculum can be taught both in person and online, and AJU is working to create additional resources to help teachers adapt to distance learning.
Of course, we recognize that our colleagues may wish to use other curricula as well, and this is not meant to replace those programs.
In addition, if you are not able to offer a local introduction to Judaism course, AJU warmly invites your students to sign up for one of their online cohorts, with new classes beginning each month (see schedule here). A local sponsoring rabbi is required for anyone potentially seeking conversion. Please contact intro@aju.edu with any questions.
To receive a sample of the curriculum and learn more about bring the AJU's Miller Introduction to Judaism Program to your community, or to connect your students with an online class, please contact intro@aju.edu.
