Adult Education

The Study of Torah is at the center of our lives. Temple Rodef Shalom fulfills the mitzvah of Jewish learning by providing numerous opportunities for adult study and growth. Scholarly lectures, formal and informal study and discussion groups, Hebrew classes, and other unique learning opportunities offer our members various ways to enrich spiritual and intellectual growth.

Judaism is a tradition of life-long learning. The study of ancient texts and modern interpretations enriches our lives and provides a framework for Jewish living. To that end, Temple Rodef Shalom is truly a house of prayer for all ages.

Torah Study

 
Line by line discussion/study of Torah. This group reviews and discusses Biblical passages each week in an informal setting. Drop-ins are always welcome.
