TBEI Adult Education
Lifelong learning is a dynamic part of congregational life at Temple Beth El Israel. Throughout the year, the Adult Education committee actively functions to develop programs (and formal courses) designed to inspire participants to become better informed Jews. Some topics that congregants will explore, as Adult Education offerings evolve, include:
History of the Jewish People
Classes in basic Hebrew
Torah and Talmudic studies
Current events as they pertain to the State of Israel, as well as to Jewish communities throughout the world
Holocaust studies
“Globetrotters” – Jewish Heritage travel destinations
Ethical issues (e.g., abortion, stem cell research, LGBT issues, end-of-life decisions)
Interfaith relations and dialogue
Film studies and book reviews relating to Jewish topics of interest
Understanding Antisemitism in today’s world
