Monday Night Adult Education Opportunities Including Anshe Mitzvah
in person or on Zoom
The Zoom link can be found in your email or on this logged in members only page...

Have you ever felt like something was missing from your Jewish education or life experiences?  Have your children experienced bar/bat mitzvah but you missed out? Are you seeking a way to connect with other Jewish adults?
Come join our Anshe Mitzvah program. Together we will learn about Jewish life from an adult perspective together with other members of the congregation. The program will include regular Monday night educational opportunities and culminate with a service in the late spring of 2025. 

The classes are open to everyone in the community regardless of your desire to participate in the service. The program is designed so that a person can some to any short series that they like without committing to participate in the entire curriculum. 

Classes will begin at 7:00pm and are designed for in-person learning though a zoom camera will be set up to allow participation from those unable to attend.
