Adult Education

Sign up early online to reserve your place.

Classes, events, and programs are open to Temple members and the community at large. It’s Temple Emanu-El policy to make it possible for anyone to attend, regardless of financial situation. Call the Temple Office to make arrangements; your privacy will be respected. As is our Temple custom, 3 percent of the charge for meals will be donated to Mazon.

Look for flyers, Ha-Sofer bulletin articles, and on the web site for announcements with updated information about our programs.

New people bring new and interesting ideas. If you have suggestions or Jewish-related instructional talents you'd like to share, or if you would like to join the committee, which meets once a month, contact one of us.
