Lifelong Learning (Adult Education)

At Temple Beth Shalom, not only the kids are learning—adults are active learners, too!  As a community, we support a rich tradition of lifelong Jewish learning, where our adults and parents are just as engaged as our children. Come to a class or lecture opportunity to participate in a lively discussion, get to know other members of our community, and hopefully learn something new.

Please join us for a special session with Combatants for Peace (CfP).  CfP is an organization of former Israeli (IDF) soldiers and Palestinian fighters who laid down their weapons and started working together in 2006. They are an egalitarian, bi-national, grassroots group founded on the belief that the cycle of violence can only be broken when Israelis and Palestinians join forces. Combatants for Peace was nominated for the 2017 and 2018 Nobel Peace Prize.  We will be joined by two CfP activists who will share their stories and journey to co-create a just peace.
