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.
It’s Torah o’clock somewhere! Be part of the 4th annual Virtual Tikkun Leil Shavuot.
God gave Torah at Mount Sinai, but we each receive it everyday, each in our own way. Join our collaboration of small URJ congregations as we offer a night of study sessions. Come for one session or stay all night enjoying teachings from a wide range of teachers and classes. Registration is free, but you must sign up to receive the Zoom links for the night of classes.
Our Rabbi will be in the sanctuary from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. You are asked to bring your favorite ice cream sundae topping. Adults can bring their favorite beverage also, this is a celebration.
