Adult Education provides a variety of high-quality programming for our community, seeking to enhance the congregation’s understanding of the culture, religion, and practices of the Jewish people, both past and present, in our country and around the world. Our programs include:
- Guest speakers
- Talks and films about Israel and the Diaspora, including discount tickets to the Boston Jewish Film Festival
- Seasonal series of classes led by our clergy
- Adult B’nai Mitzvah classes
- Music and other special events, in person and on Zoom.
While many of our programs are offered free of charge, we greatly appreciate any and all donations to the Arnold and Leona Rubin Adult Education Fund to help us defray costs and assist us in continuing to bring high quality programming to our community.

Thursday, May 1st 8:00p to 9:00p
What are we talking about when we talk about "Israel"? The name "Israel" in Jewish texts can have many meanings: the person, the nation, the land, and the modern state. In this six-session class, we will be examining different uses of the name "Israel" by looking at sources ranging from the Torah to modern thinkers. Together, we will gain deeper understanding into its meaning by looking at the connections between and teasing apart the differences among the range of meanings of the word, and be able to discern what we are talking about when we talk about Israel. -
