Adult Education

We offer many Jewish learning opportunities for our congregants, including the following programs. Specific information and sign-ups for congregants are posted in the eBlast. 

• Upcoming: March 27-28, 2026: A meditative Friday eve and Saturday daylong program during which attendees will have the opportunity to learn about and experience several Jewish contemplative practices. Rabbi Cindy Enger will give a D'var Torah Friday evening; lead a one-hour Contemplative Service on Saturday morning, which includes a guided centering/grounding meditation, poetry, heart-centered chant/prayer and quieting; lead a study session and contemplative walk (weather permitting) Saturday afternoon; and hold a closing session with Havdalah.  Your registration allows you to attend all sessions but each session stands on its own and should you not be able to attend all, Rabbi Cindy assures us that that is okay and your participation is welcome!

• Weekly Torah study: A weekly, online, in-depth discussion of the Torah, verse by verse, incorporating traditional and modern commentary enriched by our personal insights and reactions. All congregants are invited to attend. Email Rabbi Amy if you are interested.
• Annual Adult Education Programs hosted by Rabbi Amy. Previous topics have included Jewish values and ethics and understandings prayers, among others.
• Book discussion groups hosted by congregants, Rabbi Amy, and local groups.
• Adult Hebrew classes: An online class for adults looking to learn Hebrew for use in their Jewish religious life and in the synagogue. There are two levels: Level 1 is learning the letters, vowels, roots, simple vocabulary and prayers; Level 2 is an advanced version of Level 1, with an expectation that students can already read Hebrew, plus additional prayers, vocabulary, and some grammatical structures. Classes are taught by a congregant and are offered on a periodic basis.
• Periodic Thursday lunchtime online discussion program with Rabbi Amy on a variety of topics.
