Congregation Ner Tamid

Adult Jewish Learning

Lifelong Jewish Learning is alive and well at Congregation Ner Tamid.

One of the fundamental ways our children learn is from observing what their parents, grandparents and other role models do. Participation in adult Jewish learning sends an ongoing, important message to younger generations that continued growth and development of our Jewish knowledge is a priority. Come be a part of that message. Your participation and attendance in adult Jewish programs and events is sincerely encouraged. Together we will engage in learning and fulfill our commitment to the advancement of our Jewish-selves. You never know what you might learn!

Please contact the Temple office at (702) 733-6292 for more information about adult education classes.

 

ZOOM SERIES WITH RABBI COOKIE LEA OLSHEIN

be ready to participate in meaning-filled conversations about our sacred texts and traditions.
