To make meaning of our Jewish heritage
in our daily lives, we need some basic knowledge. For
many parents, Jewish learning began and ended with Hebrew
school. Given the richness, breadth and complexity of
Jewish knowledge, learning about Judaism as adults is
immensely rewarding because we have the intellectual sophistication
and life experience to appreciate our heritage.
Adult education programs are available at the Woodbury
Jewish Center. But parents also learn with their children.
Family education opportunities abound. Participating in
synagogue holiday celebrations and reading Jewish stories
let families learn and "grow" their knowledge
and appreciation of Judaism together.
All Members who are interested in joining
my Adult Bat Mitzvah Class
Please Call me at (516) 496-9100 ext. 123
or email me at: cantor@woodburyjc.org
I am offering an adult Bat Mitzvah class,
beginning this coming October 10th, 2007. The class will
meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 for one hour of study.
The program will encompass two years of study, beginning
with the introductory instruction of Hebrew.
I urge those who are considering taking
this class to speak to past graduates of the program.
They will tell you how much they have learned, and about
their ability to pray with KAVANA – a true sense
of spiritual purpose and meaning.
