Adult Learning
Adult Education at Congregation Rodeph Sholom
Congregation Rodeph Sholom prides itself on its dedication to ongoing Jewish education. We offer a variety of classes at different levels, dates, and times so that all our adult members can be engaged in learning.
Our Adult Education program has a very exciting line-up of courses and events in the coming year built around the general theme of deepening our understanding of the holidays, using a wide range of perspectives: historical, ritual, and spiritual.
Our Tuesday evening classes are taught by our clergy on a variety of topics related to the above theme. We will be learning about Shabbat with Rabbi Levine; Chanukah with Rabbi Grushcow; Purim with Rabbi Spratt; and Pesach with Rabbi Laufer.
This year, some of the classes will be preceded by relevant Hebrew classes and drop-in discussions. We will also be offering some of the classes on holidays in different times and locations, to reach out to all the members of our synagogue and schools. Look for a learning opportunity near you!
Throughout the year, there are many classes offered on a regular basis, including:
Beginning and Intermediate Hebrew
How to Raise a Mentsch: The Jewish Parenting Group
Text and Context: Advanced Study
Conversations with the Clergy
Seminar in Jewish History
Basic Judaism
Brotherhood Torah Study
Shabbat Morning Torah Study
We also offer Fall and Spring Shabbatons, bringing speakers and artists to our community to explore ideas in depth.
We also run an intensive Adult B’nei Mitzvah program every other year; the next Adult B’nei Mitzvah class will occur in 2011.
