Adult Education at Temple Sinai invites learners at all stages, novice to “seasoned,” to forge connections through group exploration of Jewish texts and topics.
The Adult Education Committee supports programming that has precedent at Temple Sinai (e.g., Hebrew classes, Torah study, and other clergy-led explorations), as well as programs to whet appetites and uncover as yet undiscovered audiences. Please join us in our explorations! To offer suggestions or help with future programming, email committee chair Susan Rizzo.
