THURSDAY NIGHTS WITH RABBI GUTTMAN
Rabbi Guttman continues his four-session class, “One Heart, Two Homes” on April 17 at 7:30 pm. The class addresses the deep, personal issues surrounding the questions:
"Why should I, an American Reform Jew, have a relationship with Israel? What might such a relationship look like? Where might Israel “live” in my Jewishness?" To register, please call the Temple office, 292-7899 or email mwestmoreland@tegreensboro.org.

“Make your study of Torah a fixed habit.”– Pirkei Avot 1:15
The KEVA Program is designed to encourage adult Jewish learning by providing learners with attainable Jewish educational goals and appropriate recognition from the Union for Reform Judaism.
AWARDS
The Union’s Department of Lifelong Jewish Learning awards the KEVA Certificate of Recognition to individuals who complete 100 hours of adult Jewish study.
Hours may be earned in adult education opportunities that are sponsored or co-sponsored by a Union-affiliated congregation or local Jewish facility. In addition, KEVA credits can accrue through inter-congregational and Union for Reform Judaism regional and national programs.
