Adult Learning

The goal of our adult learning is to help our members (and anyone who participates) be well-rounded people, rooted in Jewish identity while open to the world around us.
 
 

Our adult learning programs explore Jewish and general history, philosophy, comparative religion, current events, literature and science. All adult learning sessions are offered either exclusively online or both in-person and online.

    Adult Education: Introduction to Jewish History
    Tuesday, Oct 22nd 7:30p to 8:30p
    There are two basic questions to history: What happened, and what does it mean? Tradition has its answers, and so do we. How do we understand what it means for a Humanistic Jew to study Jewish history? Join us for the first session of our year-long exploration of Jewish history.

    Adult Education: Origins
    Tuesday, Oct 29th 7:30p to 8:30p
    Where did the Jewish people really begin? If Adam and Eve and Noah are myths, and Abraham may well also be, and the Exodus story is not confirmed by archaeology, where did we come from? And where did those stories come from that we thought were our history?
