Adult Learning at Schaarai Zedek offers meaningful opportunities for adults of all ages to explore Jewish ideas, deepen their knowledge, and learn alongside our clergy and community. Whether you are joining us for a weekly class, a special series, or a one-time workshop, our programs are designed to be welcoming, accessible, and engaging.
Throughout the year, our clergy lead regular study sessions that explore Jewish texts, themes, and modern-day questions. Sessions are open to everyone, regardless of background or level of experience.
We offer multi-week courses and standalone classes on a wide range of subjects—Jewish history, ethics, culture, spirituality, modern Israel, and more. These programs change throughout the year, providing fresh opportunities to learn and connect.
Leading up to major holidays, we offer preparation sessions, themed learning, and opportunities to explore the meaning and practices of each season. These programs help deepen understanding and enrich your celebration at home and in the community.
Our lifelong learning opportunities support adults at every stage—young adults, parents, empty nesters, and seniors—through programming that blends study, conversation, and community-building. No prior knowledge is needed; curiosity is all that’s required.
Throughout the year, we welcome visiting scholars, authors, educators, and community leaders for special presentations and conversations. These events connect us with broader Jewish thought and bring new voices into our learning community.
