Learn
"The Jewish tradition of learning - is learning. Adam chose knowledge instead of immortality." - Elie Wiesel
At Beth Jacob Synagogue we believe in feeding the intellect and curiosity as much as feeding the spirit and the soul. Education is the well from which we draw our inspiration and illuminate our future and our past. Together, we explore the Jewish experience in all its facets: culture, heritage, arts, history, language, story, food, tradition, ritual and celebration. We learn about the wider Jewish community and in doing so, we learn about ourselves.
Use the menus on this site for additional information about youth education, adult programming, and opportunities to connect with Jewish culture.

Just in time for those potentially challenging Passover seder conversations, join us for a Listening Project practice session hosted by Andy Robinson. We'll warm up with a few listening exercises. Then we'll set up small groups to discuss whatever subjects you want to talk about: Israel and Palestine, antisemitism, how you're thinking about Judaism, etc. Come prepared to listen with curiosity and without judgment. -
