Adult Education

At Temple Israel, we are deeply committed to lifelong learning as a cornerstone of our community. We believe that Jewish education should start early but continue throughout our lives, offering all generations the tools to navigate and reflect on life’s complexities.

Our Adult Education classes and programs are a welcoming space for everyone whether you’re a newcomer seeking to explore your Judaism or a seasoned learner diving deeper into core teachings. Join us as we tackle thought-provoking questions and engage in enriching discussions that empower you to lead a more examined and meaningful life.
