No religious background needed. People of all religions welcome. Each class stands on its own - you don't need to attend every class each semester.
New students are always welcome.
No previous attendance is necessary. And, thousands who live outside of Los Angeles listen to the tapes. We know of nowhere else that religious Jews in yarmulkes, secular Jews, Baptist ministers, African-American and Latino Christians, Mormons and Catholics come together to study Torah as they do with Dennis Prager at the University of Judaism. Bring a spouse, a friend, a teenager, a parent, and meet wonderful people in a life changing setting. And last semester I moved on to the exciting Fourth Book, Numbers.
