Chai Mitzvah: Grow Your Judaism
At Temple Beth Or we believe that Jewish learning is a lifetime project. Judaism offers a wealth of rich, deep, sophisticated ideas which are most useful for adults. Adults make decisions about raising children, choosing careers, medical care for themselves and loved ones, where to live, and whom to love. Adults can use the guidance of a religious system to help them through this maze of serious choices. Adults also experience fully the deep sorrow of loss and the great joy of true love. Jewish tradition can guide adults through these emotional highs and lows.
Adult learning at Temple Beth Or equips our lifelong learners to face the complexity of their lives armed with Jewish knowledge. Whether learning at Tanach Study or a Spirituality session, our learners come away from the experience with a greater appreciation of Judaism’s profound depths, and a greater understanding of how to lead an inspired life.
Please join us at any one of our course offerings. Membership is not required, and many of the classes are free!
