Soul Journey/Intro to Judaism is one of several Intro to Judaism classes offered in Los Angeles as a path to conversion and accepted by the Sandra Caplan Beit Din. We welcome everyone into this class, both Jews and Jew-ishly curious. While it is a path for conversion, the class is also just a wonderful way to deepen one’s Jew-ish education.
