ADULT LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
Jewish Learning is a Lifelong Pursuit
 The lifelong pursuit of Jewish learning enables each of us to transform the
meaning of everyday life and to frame responses to the ultimate questions about
life. Adult learning nourishes both the heart and soul of those who pursue it.
You are invited to explore Judaism through the many opportunities available at
Fairmount Temple. All are invited as we Open the Doors of Jewish Life
Together.
TORAH STUDY
Weekly - Wednesday Morning Torah Study
This is an opportunity to study and discuss Torah on Wednesday
mornings, from 7:30 - 8:30 a.m. in the Lelyveld Center for Jewish Learning. Come
as often as your schedule permits. The rabbis lead this weekly series, which is open to all - stop in before work, before
your morning walk, or after the kids have gotten on the school bus!
Weekly - Parashat HaShavua (Torah study)
Engage the text of the weekly Torah portion to discover why it survives millennia with new meaning for each generation.
Unlock its surface and deeper insights and how they are relevant to your
life. Share the wisdom of commentary, midrash and your companions around the
table. Hebrew knowledge not required. Each Shabbat gathering is a stand-alone
session. Come once, come often. Books provided, or bring your own favorite
translation to compare with others. Every Saturday, 9:15-10:30 in the
Arthur J. Lelyveld Learning Center.
You are
invited to join the Library Minyan for worship following the Torah Study
session.
Women's Study

interested in continued Jewish study, topics are
