Welcome to

Karaite Jewish University
 

Welcome to the Karaite Jewish University website. The Karaite Jewish University (KJU) is an independent Californian Corporation currently seeking Non-Profit status.  The University has not formerly associated with any other Karaite organization. KJU has received the permission of the Moetzet Hakhamim (Council of Sages), to teach an Introduction to Judaism course.  This course may lead to a conversion conducted by a Bet Din that is appointed by the Moetzet Hakhamim.

At the current time we are not accepting applications for our fourth Introduction to Judaism course which is scheduled for TBD for 2011. If you are interested in applying, please keep checking by clicking on the link entitled “Application Process".

We have been blessed with a board and faculty whose dedication has permitted the first United States Karaite Jewish institution of higher learning to exist. Our diversification includes native born Israeli and American Karaite Jews of Egyptian origin, former Orthodox Jews who have accepted Karaite Judaism and converts to Karaite Judaism.  Our graduates included students from Australia, the Czech Republic, Canada and the United States.

The Online Experience

    
 


Karaite Jewish University will post teaching lessons on its course management system "Moodle" website. We maintain a library of over 400 articles.  Through the Moodle site students will access lesson material, quizzes and library. We use Google Groups as our forum for exchange of ideas and announcements.

IMPORTANT!

Admission into the course does not guarantee, suggest or imply that a student will automatically be allowed to participate in the Conversion Ceremony.  Participation in the Conversion Ceremony is based upon theological and religious considerations independent of successful course completion. The Conversion Ceremony is carried out by the Karaite Jews of America, an institution unaffiliated with the KJU.
