Lifelong Learning
Our goal at Congregation Beth El is to create a diverse set of learning opportunities for adults to engage with our community and Torah in a way that’s meaningful to them. This may be text study at a Tikkun Leyl Shavuot, our weekly Lunch and Learn, learning to chant Torah, participating in the “Everything You Wanted to Know About Judaism” class, attending a book club or lecture or a Tu B’Shevat Seder. If you have an idea for a topic you would like to explore, please let us know.
Teens
The post-bar/bat mitzvah years are critical for the creation of a strong Jewish identity. Both cognitively and socially, the young adult is developing beyond preteen levels. In these years, our Jewish teens should receive excellent Jewish education, delivered by our most able and Jewishly best-educated teachers, with due regard for the teens peer group relationships as well as their home environments.
To accomplish this purpose, we created the Community Midrashah. The term “midrashah” connotes a serious engagement with the core texts of the Jewish tradition informing our ethical and spiritual choices in life.
