5786 Adult Education - Form

Ongoing study of Jewish tradition, history, literature, and thought is a critical component of Jewish life, and a central, dynamic element of Jewish experience. Under the inspired leadership of Rabbi Emeritus Scott Glass and now Rabbi Caleb Brommer, our community has developed multiple opportunities and venues for us to engage Jewish texts and ideas. Adult Education classes are open to all members of the TBE community free of charge. Contributions to the Adult Education Fund support this program and are deeply appreciated.

Registration is mandatory in order to set up the Social Hall and produce the necessary number of handouts for courses. Please note that some education opportunities are ongoing, and others are one-day events. You may email us at: adulted@tbeithaca at any time for more information.

Please be sure to log in to your TBE account beforehand - this form will auto-populate with your information.
