Temple Emanuel encourages everyone in our community to engage in lifelong Jewish learning. Our goal is to help individuals discover and strengthen their connection to Judaism. Throughout the year we offer a wide variety of classes and speakers for adult learners, including:
Taste of Torah
Join us for weekly Torah study, led by Rabbi Wilfond, where we will explore the weekly torah portion together. Classes meet Thursday mornings at 10:30 am. This class is open to both members and non-members, Jewish and non-Jewish members of the community.
Exploring Judaism
This course, led by Rabbi Wilfond, includes topics on Judaism’s history, traditions, culture and more. Open to all, this program is designed for anyone interested in learning more about Jewish life, whether you are part of a Jewish or interfaith couple, an adult raising Jewish children, a spiritual seeker, considering conversion, or a Jew who wants a meaningful adult learning experience. Wherever you are on your journey with Judaism, this class is designed to be a safe and welcoming place for you to explore.
Book Club
Our book group is a warm and dynamic group of congregants who meet once a month to share and discuss good reads.
Me’ah Classic
The Me’ah Classic course is a two-year, four semester Jewish history program taught by outstanding faculty from Hebrew College who empower students to become part of the conversation.
