Senior Theology Class Gets Lesson in Judaism

To enhance their study of Judaism beyond the classroom, the Senior Theology class visited Congregation Ohav Shalom on Krumkill Road. Rabbi Dan Ornstein warmly welcomed our students, led a tour of their sacred space, and offered an overview of the beliefs and practices of our Jewish brothers and sisters. After, the class was treated to some Stewart's ice cream!
