ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAMS Intergenerational Community Education: Participants of all ages are invited to attend workshops to enrich Jewish practice and understanding. This year we will continue exploring the topic Shabbat B’yachad (“together on Shabbat”) and the Jewish value of B’tzelem Elohim (“in God’s image”). We are adding two new themes: one is connected to our lovely new garden and relates to the Jewish values of peah/leket (“sharing food”) and baal tashchit (“do not destroy”). The other new theme relates to Israel; during the fall semester we will have an Israeli emissary working in the JCA School. As a community, we explore Judaism through study, the arts, and a variety of activities. Workshops build relationships within the congregation and empower participants to continue learning in their homes. In 2011 JCA introduced a parlor conversation series led by the rabbi; topics included “what does it mean to be a ‘green’ Jew?” and “how to meaningfully participate in services when you don’t understand what is going on.” Attendance to all intergenerational community education activities is open; occasional fees are charged. Adult Education: We hold a variety of workshops, scholars-in-residence programs, lectures, and exhibits. Classes are usually taught by the rabbi, JCA members, or staff. Pre-registration and fees are required. Many opportunities are also available in the larger community. To learn about opportunities outside of JCA, check www.jewishcultureconnect.com. please contact Jody Rosenbloom, director of lifelong learning, at 256-0160, ext. 203, or at eddir@j-c-a.org. | Welcome | Calendar | Religious Services | Education | Leadership & Staff | | History | Our Rabbi| | Directions | Camp Shemesh | Donations |
