Temple Beth Hillel’s Adult Education program aims to provide a variety of Jewish learning and cultural opportunities to our members and visitors.

We offer ongoing Adult Hebrew classes for beginning and intermediate students.

Midrash Study, led by our own Rabbi Glickman, takes place every Friday morning.

Twice each year, a group from our temple makes a trip to the National Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Mass. to view the institution’s exhibits and take in a concert, film, or lecture.

We also have an annual in-temple Movie Matinee (past films include Hester Street, Fiddler on the Roof, and Exodus).

The Adult Education program also sponsors a variety of short-term classes.
Past offerings have included:

• Kings I & II – a reading of this record of the monarchial period of Israel
• The “Minor” Prophets – a look at some of the less-studied prophets of our tradition
• Biblical Heroes and Rogues
• How to Prepare for and Celebrate the Holidays
• Spirituality Behind Life Cycle Ceremonies
• Psalms – a look at the Psalms as literature
• Why be Jewish? What Judaism has to offer us.

Please watch the newsletter and this website for information about our future classes and activities!
