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.

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.

December 2024:
Through a Jewish Lens
Led by Rabbi Jon Hanish
Judaism has survived throughout the ages because of its ability to adapt to, comment on, and guide each generation. While Judaism speaks about the past and looks to it for advice, its commentary is always on the present. Again and again, our texts show us ways to move forward in the world by taking righteous actions. In this series of three sessions, we will study Jewish texts that touch upon “hot” topics including but not limited to: Gun Violence, Global Warming, Equality, Reproductive Rights, and Anti-Semitism.
Led by Paige Beame, Rabbinic Intern.
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.
