Adult Education

It is the time for New Year’s Resolutions – Jewish Style:  Promise to make Jewish Learning a Priority.  Recognizing everyone’s busy lives and full schedules, the Or Atid Adult Education Committee has modified the approach to include several topical courses in concentrated format.  Come for one or come for all.  All are free and open to the entire community.  Bring your friends, relatives, former Me’ah classmates, co-workers, neighbors….  Note that we have also changed the time of the Weekly Torah Portion discussion based on feedback.  Please mark your calendars now.

L’Shana Tovah, Freya Bernstein and Kent Greenawalt, Co-Chairs
