L’Chaim: A course developed by the Movement for Reform Judaism, aimed at any interested adult Jew who wants an honest engagement with Reform Judaism.
The course content addresses the challenges of living today as a proud Reform Jew, exploring issues of key concern and enabling participants to feel that our Judaism is intellectually and emotionally coherent, not Judaism-lite.
The programme will give you the knowledge, tools and confidence to make choices about how you live an authentic Reform Jewish life, one which is based on your own considered choices, which you can proudly justify and comfortably defend when challenged.
Objectives of the L’chaim Course.
- To gain a clear understanding of the core values of Reform Judaism.
- To be able to use the core values to tackle everyday challenges of being Jewish.
- For you to establish your own Jewish position on key issues.
- To end up with a greater commitment to, and pride in, Reform Judaism.
