We're glad you asked! In addition to a Congregational Library for the self-pacing scholar, we have several Jewish Life Enrichment programs including adult education Hebrew, Jewish practices, and Torah study information.
On August 1st, 2009 our weekly Torah class will resume.
Rabbi Rubinger will be teaching a major adult ed course in the fall immediately after Yom Kippur. The course is titled "The Holocaust: The Jewish Response." The first class will be Thursday, October 1st, at 7:30PM. The class will go for approximately eight weekly sessions. This course is aimed at debunking the highly popular, widespread, but utterly false notion that the victims of the Holocaust went to their deaths "like sheep to the slaughter". The class will be devoted to learning about the many ways - physical, cultural and spiritual - the Holocaust victims resisted their Nazi oppressors.
The adult education parts of Tanach Tangents: Exploring Tanach Together have begun. A PEREK YOMI PROGRAM – We, as a congregation, will be learning together a Chapter a Day of Tanach beginning with Joshua, the first book after the Five Books of the Torah. I will be sending out e-mails daily to give a very brief synopsis of the chapter for that day. Perek means “chapter” and yomi means “day”. Hence, Perek Yomi means a Chapter a Day. This program began Monday, October 5, 2009. To be included, join the Temple e-mailing list.
