Learning
Lifelong learning is an essential Jewish value, and Beth Am has educational opportunities for every age, from babies through adulthood. Clergy, educators, staff, Beth Am members and invited scholars from around the world teach, inspire and challenge us. Learning happens in nature, in homes, at top-quality lectures and presentations, over lunch, through the arts and in classrooms with our dedicated teachers.
Read moreYouth Education programs are innovative and always adapting to new ideas. We are proud to be part of Re-Imagine, a national project that is helping us phase out religious school as we’ve known it and move Jewish education out of the classroom. We are also very pleased to host T'enna at Beth Am, which is part of the T'enna Preschool at the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center.
Beth Am members are learners for life! Study over lunch and over bagels. Study in pairs, groups and classes. Study on walks, runs or hikes - come and learn!
Beth Am’s Library enjoyed another banner year, circulating thousands of books and other resources to both adults and kids during the course of the school year! Unfortunately, many are now overdue by several months. Books may be returned at any time using the book return slot to the left of the main Library door and below the windows. Please make a point to look for and return overdue items.
Sundays, September 29, October 20 and December 15, 2013; 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM, Beit Kehillah
