Outreach Activities
Interfaith Group – Part of JSA
This group works with interfaith groups of all religions to promote living in harmony among the diverse religious and ethnic groups in our city.
Close Encounters
NSTE provides a unique educational outreach to high school students that give students an opportunity to visit a synagogue and discuss their questions and interests with the Rabbi. Walls of ignorance and suspicion rapidly fall down as students come to appreciate the contributions made by Jews throughout history and the similarities that exist between Judaism and their own traditions and cultures. The program complements the student’s own course work in Studies of Religion, Modern History and Society and Culture and is, for all concerned, a memorable and enjoyable morning.
Conversion to Judaism
Conversion to Judaism is a deeply personal matter. That is why at NSTE, Rabbi Robuck works closely and respectfully with families, partners and those who are electing to convert to Judaism.
Our Basic Jewish Concepts classes are intimate and provide a comprehensive survey of Jewish History and Thought. The beauty and meaning of the Jewish festivals are carefully and enthusiastically presented. Our interactive classroom, featuring wireless internet linking students to the most current and helpful websites, perfectly complement our course readings. Hebrew language study is required for conversion and, when possible, an Introductory Hebrew Reading course can be provided.
