ADULT EDUCATION
The Adult Education Committee invites all to a series of lectures and discussions this year covering all aspects of Jewish life, current events, history, and environmental issues. In addition, we will be working with the Israel Connection group to develop a lecture program on the challenges facing Israel. Many of the programs are scheduled on Sunday mornings with brunch so that parents of Religious School students can easily attend.
