Adult Education
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, fall and spring 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.
