The goal of the Kol Tikvah Adult Education program is to provide insight, understanding, and education regarding topics that touch on Jewish life. Our courses run the gamut from Torah study, to the place of Jews in society, perspectives on God, and a book club focused on Jewish themes. Additionally, we strive to meet the secular needs and desires of our community by offering classes that touch upon every day topics including financial management, computer literacy, and public school choices. We proudly present many different areas of study making Kol Tikvah a place of religious and educational growth.
Weekly Torah Study
Kol Tikvah Clergy and Congregant Led
The Torah is studied through the lens of Reform theology creating a liberal, modern perspective on Judaism’s oldest text. The weekly parasha is the focus, though occasionally a Jewish holiday will be the lesson of the day. Classes are on Zoom on Mondays from 11:30 am – 12:30 pm. No Torah Study on Jewish and secular holidays.
Cost: Complimentary for congregants; First 4 classes are free for non-members, then $18 fee per session. No pre-registration required.
Each session, through readings, group study, lectures, and discussion, we will explore rich and complex beliefs and practices that over millennia have come to define and redefine what it means to be Jewish. As we explore the fundamentals of Jewish thought and practice, we will do so through the lens of Progressive Reform Judaism.
