For every adult who wants to know more about their Judaism, but is tired of repetitive introductory classes, and is intimidated by programs that sound too advanced.
The Institute for Jewish Studies is continuing, innovative program that respects your intelligence and desire for excellence in education. In a non-judgmental environment, the Institute will present local and guest scholars who will educate, challenge, and fascinate you with the beauty and depth that is the treasure of our Jewish heritage. The 'Institute for Jewish Studies' has in a few short years earned a reputation of providing excellence in Jewish adult education.
We are about to begin another exciting semester of learning and discovery. In this brochure you will find two programs of study: Course A is a comprehensive program that will lead you through the basic core of Jewish knowledge and Jewish Tradition, Jewish History and Jewish Thought. Course B is an in-depth program that will explore Jewish issues, themes, ideals and topics of interest. This curriculum is unique with new courses and topics every year.
We hope you will take the opportunity to join this most dynamic and popular program of Jewish adult learning.
