The Adult Jewish Growth committee has embarked on a journey which will create, at Temple Shalom, a comfortable, exciting and varied learning environment. In this vision, our congregation will come together, bonded through Torah. The Adult Jewish Growth Committee is hard at work carefully framing the mission and goals of continuing education at Temple Shalom, as well as shaping the structure of the program. Our goals include increasing participation and reducing intimidation, as well as fostering community.

The Temple has committed to providing these learning opportunities on the third and fourth Thursdays of each month as well as on selected Havdalah, Kabbalat Shabbat and other times. So far the response has been great!

We are actively seeking new members for our committee, which meets on the first Thursday of the month at 7:45PM. No special knowledge or expertise is needed; come and check us out! If you have an interest in helping us with a single program or would like to join the Adult Jewish Growth Committee, contact Bruce Rubinstein.

The Adult Jewish Growth Program presents opportunities for study

Studying of Torah is Greater than all other Pursuits

Learning for Jews is a path guiding us toward righteous living, self-fulfillment and sensing what is holy. Our Learning program at Temple Shalom should challenge us to grow intellectually, spiritually and personally as modern Jews living in the midst of our community.
