Adult Programs
Through a variety of educational pursuits, our members grow in soul and spirit through the sacred process of study and reflection on topics both modern and ancient.
From Yiddish film and klezmer to Indian delicacies of Cochin, India, and intricate papercutting, our members - and guests from the larger community - enjoy an array of cultural events limited only by our imaginations. Events take place at our synagogue, in parks and in public spaces, often in partnership with other venues and organizations. Artists, performers, speakers and teachers come to us from across the globe or across the street, and often from within our esteemed membership.
A sampling of recent events:
Dinner with Tevye - The classic Sholem Aleichem film paired with a dinner inspired by the Russian Pale of Settlement at the end of the 19th century.
Jewish Jazz - A musical tour of the interrelationship of klezmer and jazz
Jewish Papercutting - A historical presentation and hands-on arts workshop
Shoe b'Shvat - A snowshoe trek under the full moon and the poetry of trees in celebration of Tu b'Shvat
Parents Discussion - Raising Jewish children in interfaith families
The Culture of Cochini Jews and an Indian Feast - Scholarly presentation and chef-prepared dinner
