Learn With Us!


Welcome to 18Doors eLearning! Our eLearning courses are designed for Jewish clergy, professionals and lay leaders who are looking to deepen their ability to engage interfaith families in their organizations.

Our courses can be completed from anywhere, at any time – all at once, or broken into smaller sections.

Participants in our courses will walk away with practical tools to apply to their work and increased understanding of some of the barriers to participation for interfaith families.

We are pleased to offer our initial course free of charge in order to support organizations who wish to reach and engage interfaith families.

For more information on our professional development offerings, or to find out how 18Doors can support your organization, contact us at professionaldevelopment@18doors.org.
