Congregational Learning
Five years ago, Va’ad Limud, Congregation Beth El’s Steering Committee for Congregational Learning, established these goals for our congregational education program:
- Encourage everyone in our community to engage in lifelong Jewish learning
- Cultivate Jewish consciousness through increased knowledge and awareness that will lead to actions.
- Create a welcoming and challenging place for learning and doing
- Create a learning community in which each member is both a teacher and a learner.
- Foster a passionate connection and commitment to Beth El and the world l’dor vador — from generation to generation.
Through the collaboration of many individuals, committees and the generosity of the contributors to the Carob Tree Initiative and the Beth El Fund we are offering a rich program of learning opportunities that includes:
- A Sunday morning Beit Midrash — a House of Study which will create a community of learners and make Sunday at Beth El a day of exploration, sharing and growing for all who enter its doors
- A wide range of adult learning courses taught by local scholars, members of the professional staff, and fellow congregants
- A Family Education program that offers families with students from early childhood through sixth grade a multitude of opportunities to learn together
- A Hebrew Literacy Program – beginners through advanced
- Four weekly Torah study groups – all levels
We look forward to learning together throughout 5766. May we each individually and as community be strengthened through our learning experiences in the upcoming year. |
