Adult Learning
As a community, we support a rich tradition of lifelong Jewish learning, where adults and parents are just as engaged as our children. Come to a class or lecture opportunity to participate in a lively discussion, get to know other members of our community, and learn something new. Both inexperienced and experienced learners are welcome.
As Hillel said, “If not now, when?” Come join our learning Kehillah (community) and become inspired.
One of the things that makes Temple Beth David such an extraordinary community is our commitment to excellence in Adult Education. In addition to the support of our clergy and our board, that excellence comes from the passionate involvement of our congregants themselves."
Many of our lifelong learning activities are scheduled with regular education opportunities for children, making it easier for the whole family to be involved. Look for events on Sunday mornings, coordinated with Shorashim Religious School.
Other adult education opportunities include Lunchtime Talmud Study with the Rabbi on Thursdays, an annual Scholar In Residence weekend, and a bi-annual Congregational Retreat.
Topics of study include Jewish customs and practice, the study of Jewish texts, aspects of spirituality, and issues pertinent to contemporary Jewish and Israeli life.
