We offer a host of programs for adults including our Jewish Film Series, monthly book review club, our library, and Adult Bar and Bat Mitzvah education. We often feature Scholars in Residence and speakers on a variety of timely Jewish topics. Monday “Lunch Bunch” with Rabbi Altman is an ongoing tradition, during which congregants study with the Rabbi and with each other. We sponsor many cultural events at Temple Beth-El such as concerts and plays. Our yearly Kristallnacht Observance is recognized as an important event throughout the community. We are active in many community service projects such as Habitat for Humanity and Family Renew, which provides short-term housing for homeless families reintegrating themselves into the work force. Our Social Action Committee is devoted to the betterment of the community and welcomes participation and creative solutions to problems facing both our Jewish and non-Jewish neighbors.

Keep your eyes and ears alert for two new educational programs in late winter and early spring. The new Adult Education Committee is hard at work to bring you interesting and joyful Jewish learning in the formats of a 4-week course with the Rabbi and hands-on Jewish cooking. We have great ideas for future programs such as Kabbalah, Jewish Comedy; Yiddish for Beginners; Mah Jongg lessons, etc. but we want to hear from you. What do you want? Contact Gwen Kotler or Sy Weiner, committee co-chairs, with your ideas, questions, and/or interest in joining us as a member of the Adult Education Committee. Please think of the Adult Education Committee when you are making a donation to one of the Temple Funds. We will have a modest budget for speaker fees, marketing, and light refreshments at our programs.
