The Mission of our Adult Enrichment Committee
Rabbi Yose quote Pirke Avot/Wisdom of the Sages 2:17Discipline yourself in Torah for it is not born within you (we don’t get uploaded with Jewish software at birth!) We have to start somewhere. We can emulate Rabbi Akiva, who was one of the greatest of sages. He was illiterate, unable to even read until the age of 40. One day during his work as a stone cutter he saw the path to his own learning. If water can break down stone one drop at a time, I can learn even if it is only one fact, one piece of knowledge one insight at a time. At Temple Beth Shalom we have formal classes, learning in the midst of Shabbat and holidays events, speakers/artists and many other learning opportunities for adults as individuals and as part of a group. You are invited to learn and grow and wrestle with meaning, knowledge and wisdom.
We have regular monthly classes: Coffee and Kibbitz, Shabbat Morning Torah Study, Treasure Coast Jewish Film Festival. See the Calendar for more information.
Meet Rabbi Birnholz or Cantor Kelly and your friends from TBS atgrind + grape for a cup of coffee and some conversation.
We will be learning about Pirke Avot through amazing podcasts. Not sure about Podcasts or Pirke Avot, don’t worry we can help you out.
Learning
Because it’s April fools day on the secular calendar, we listen to Jewish foolishness in the form of “You Don’t have to be Jewish” and “when you are in love, the whole world is Jewish” It’s an hour of Jewish comedy bits from the 1960s. Listen, laugh, cry, and You Don’t Have to be When Your In Love The Whole World Is Jewish
