Adult Education

From Susan Glazer, Adult Education Committee Chair:

As we begin the year 5787, we look forward to offering a rich array of Adult Education programs. Educational opportunities, along with spiritual and social experiences, bring us together as a strong community. This year’s booklet continues to highlight the energy, wisdom, and leadership that Rabbi Allison Poirier brings to our synagogue.

You will note that the format of this year’s Adult Education booklet is different from previous years. While the program descriptions remain the same, they are more condensed for easier reference. Our booklet, distributed before the High Holidays, will highlight fall and early winter programs, while a second booklet will contain descriptions of winter and spring programs. This installment will be available both online and in physical copies at the synagogue.

Most of our educational offerings will be in person to optimize our sense of community; however, some will be on Zoom to take advantage of leaders and programs that are outside our immediate geographic area. Many programs will continue, including Rabbi Poirier’s fall and spring classes; Rabbi Perkins’ weekly Daf Yomi sessions on Monday mornings; and Rabbi Leslie Gordon’s Re-imagined Torah on Two Feet on Shabbat mornings, which will be held twice a month.

We will also continue to offer monthly Kiddush Conversations to hear from Temple members about their personal life experiences, talents, and challenges. These sessions will continue to be in person and livestreamed. In addition, speakers from outside the Temple community and Temple members will present a variety of stimulating topics, including current events in Israel and programs on antisemitism. Please consult the weekly ComingUp@Aliyah for any program updates, times, and venues.

Best wishes for a happy, healthy, and sweet 5787!

B’Shalom,

Susan Glazer
