Adult Education
The Adult Education Committee responds to the life-long Jewish learning interests and needs of the congregation through on-going classes, additions to the CBI library, and special programming such as films, Sunday speaker series, scholar-in-residence weekends, etc.
Over the past few years Adult Education Programming at CBI has included:
- A weekly Noon Study Group that engages in discussion of classic and modern Jewish texts
- A weekly Introduction to Judaism class for Jews and non-Jews alike
- Classes in Hebrew Language
- Sunday Morning Speakers series on such topics as Midrash; Comparative study of Jewish,Christian, and Islamic sacred texts; Rebecca and Jacob
- Scholar-in-Residence Programming on such issues as Jewish Meditation, Jewish Views of the Afterlife, and Mussar
- A Sunday Night Potluck-Dinner-and-a-Movie Series
- Late night Study sessions prior to Shavuot
