| A personal perspective on the Access to Judaism Course from David M |
 |
|
Just over a year ago, I went to my first Access to Judaism class. I'd met Rabbi Burden once beforehand, but I was still a little unsure what to expect from the class, and a little nervous as well. I needn't have been. The other students were friendly and welcoming, and Janet's presentations were interesting and thought-provoking. Sometimes I found myself challenged by what she (or other students) said, but questions - and questioning - are part of learning. There were some fantastic moments - the visit to the Jewish Museum in Camden, Phyllis's piping hot latkes when we were discussing Chanukah, the presentation by Tony Jacobs on being a sofer (scribe) all spring to mind. I learnt a lot, and made a whole set of new friends. I'd recommend the classes to anyone who wants to understand more about Judaism. As for the future, I'm hoping that Janet will organise an "Advanced Access to Judaism" course, because I'll be one of the first people in line for it!

“The people, the changing seasons and the manner in which we celebrate festivals .The music and cantor - not everyone has the voice and confidence to facilitate engagement and Adrian (the Cantor) facilitates that. The 3pm service – means I can often attend even if I have to work at the weekend.
