No; the courses are open to anyone, in accordance to what is ennunciated (for example, if there is a "Course for children aged 5 to 10", naturally only children this age will be accepted).

In general, my approach is non-religious, always seeking a more multidisciplinary view. In some cases, however, the content is, in itself, religious, as, for example, in the lecture “Preparing for Yom Kippur”. Since Yom Kippur is a festival in the Jewish religious calendar, we talk about it by also addressing religion.

My personal experience is that the biblical author, coming from another era, very different from ours, wrote his texts without thinking about religion as we would think today, but with a deeply spiritual feeling, so to speak. Thus, it is not necessary to do a religious reading to encounter the Spirit, or God, the Creator of the Universe—whatever name is given to this subtle and powerful dimension. The very form of narrative used by the various biblical authors always brings this dimension back to us—which is why, I believe, the text has been so alive for so long. I say this based on what I feel, but also considering the feedback from my students over time.

I speak to an audience of young adults and up.

Yes.

I have courses where I talk about all the main characteristics of the religion, but they are not exactly conversion courses and I personally do not convert people.
