A down-to-Earth learning program for those who want to explore Judaism in an approachable and accessible way, open to all adult learners with a special track for those considering conversion. BluePrint is led by Rabbi Steven Philp with guest appearances by Rabbi Lizzi Heydemann, and other movers and shakers in the Chicago Jewish scene.

The purpose of this course is to equip students with a foundational knowledge of Judaism to unlock further exploration – whether you’re studying to convert, are reconnecting with your roots, or looking to bring Judaism into your multi-faith home. We’ll dive into foundational Jewish texts, explore beliefs and practices, experience the rhythms of the Jewish calendar, and reflect on what it means to live Jewishly in the 21st century.

This course will meet in-person at Mishkan HQ beginning in October and will meet on alternating Mondays from 6:30 – 8:30 PM. You can download the course schedule here.
