ADULT EDUCATION

Congregation Beth Sholom is a place of lifelong learning.

Congregation Beth Sholom offers classes, casual learning opportunities, and social gatherings for adults designed to bring Jewish values, culture, rituals, and texts into our everyday lives. We expand our social and cultural horizons with visiting Jewish scholars, professors, Judaic art and photography exhibits, Jewish authors, political pundits, artists, journalists, rabbis, and more.

  • Weekly Torah Study

    Join us on Zoom every Tuesday morning* at 8:15 a.m. to look at the weekly parsha and delve into the teachings that our text has brought us throughout the past millennia, and to today.

    Weekly discussions will be led by CBS congregant, Marilyn Heiss, with an occasional teaching from the Rabbis. You're also welcome to sign-in early and catch some morning minyan!
