Liberal Judaism, in partnership with its synagogues, is proud to present a new online course starting next week (Wednesday 13 October), which will explore the many different contributions that Jewish women have made through the ages.

Running as part of the Liberal Judaism Education Hub, sessions are designed to stand alone, so you can attend as many evenings as you’d like – from one to all of them!

All sessions are held on Wednesdays at 7.30pm. Please register by clicking here.
