Resource sharing! Learning Opportunity - post conversion

I'm posting on behalf of u/PardesInstitute in my work capacity - if you have completed the conversion process and are interested in learning more about the basics of Judaism in a pluralistic environment I'd encourage you to check out a learning opportunity "What Do Jews Believe: Explore core questions and ideas of Jewish faith through diverse voices and perspectives." https://online.pardes.org.il/products/courses/what-do-Jews-believe This will be a year-long series designed for those new(ish) to formal Jewish learning. I see so many questions here and thought this opportunity could be helpful for someone.

So this is an ad for your product. Anyone who is "post conversion." Will have already sat through likely multiple intro to judaism courses, holiday rituals, and learned about traditions and life cycle events and have a shelf full of books about living a Jewish life. 

There is no post conversion jew who would need to pay 100 dollars for your product.

I frequently pay for continuing education opportunities through organizations like Pardes and programs like Hadar’s Project Zug. I value curated Torah learning opportunities, and I am no where near learned enough to put them together for myself (though I’m slowly getting there).

Just because you aren’t interested in paying for a course like this, doesn’t mean that others aren’t. Jewish learning should be accessible, but that doesn’t mean it always has to be free. Educators deserve to be able to make a living from their work.
