Adult Learning

5785 Adult Learning Offerings

During Temple Beth Am’s 5785 year of Creating Home Together, we are offering three opportunities for Adult Learning to explore this concept more in-depth. Together, we will engage through the heart – looking at our personal experiences of creating and enriching our Jewish home; mind – studying texts around the concept of home and our role within the community; and soul – connecting more deeply with our Reform Jewish home and movement.
