Jewish learning is not just for kids anymore!

Did you know that your fellow congregants are learning about Hebrew, holidays, customs, Jewish history and current events?

Did you know that these congregants are not kids? They are adults from all different backgrounds and who come to Beth Or a few times a month to learn from our clergy & guest speakers in a variety of fascinating classes on these topics.

Our lifelong learning committee will be reconvening in the next few weeks to plan our class offerings for next year. Already in the works are a Conversational Hebrew class, a Sunday speaker series, and a monthly Chai Holiday program that will offer adults basic & advanced classes about an upcoming holiday.

In addition, we are looking at schedules & trying to offer more convenient times to hold classes. We are going to offer babysitting, delicious food, and many other features to make the entire learning experience more enjoyable for you.

If you have any suggestions regarding topics you'd like to see or ways to make lifelong learning more accessible to you, please email our Program Coordinator, Elisa Heisman at eheisman@bethor.org.
