newlearningNEW LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
 

New learning opportunities available! Based on member requests, we are looking to add two new learning opportunities. 

1) Great Rabbis and Sages: This lunch and learn style class (time and location TBD) will look at some of our traditions greatest teachers to explore their personalities and contributions to Judaism. 

2) Jewish Folklore: This class will dig deeper into Jewish folk tales as we examine parts of our tradition that we may have heard about but are not part of the classical religion.

If you are interested in either opportunity or have other ideas, please contact Rabbi Henkin at [email protected]. Please also check out our current slate of classes listed below and join in the learning!
