Adult Education Message

Our new webpage is now available! Please
visit https://harfordjewishcenter.org/jewisheducation/adult-education/. Before
Rosh Hashanah, we highlighted a Hartman Institute offering of topics,
especially for the High Holidays. These are four fantastic discussions
from expert, engaging speakers. If you haven’t already taken advantage,
the videos are all available on-demand and at no cost!
We will be updating our web page with changing and additional classes,
discussions, films, and outside educational opportunities. As I write this,
our committee is working on setting up a Hebrew class for beginners. If
you would like to learn Hebrew for the 1st time, or 2nd time, here’s your
chance. We are also putting together a book discussion group, in
coordination with our Sisterhood. Our committee is putting together a
list of books that we will whittle down to one to start it off. Check our
webpage mid-October for both offerings. There is also discussion on
bringing back an old favorite (maybe ten years since it was offered), Judaism
101. If this is of interest, let us know.
To offer congregation-lead classes and discussions, we need congregation
members to volunteer. If you have a background in Current
events (through a Jewish lens), Jewish History, Israel, or just about anything
you think would be of interest, take a leap and volunteer. Our #1
objective is engagement; engagement of our members with our
members.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with your Adult Ed committee
at adulted@templeadasshalom.org.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Stephen Marksamer
Chairperson – Temple Adas Shalom Adult Education
