Adult B'nai Mitzvah
For whatever reason, you did not become Bar or Bat Mitzvah at age 13. No need to worry! Spend a year with Rabbi Fisher preparing to lead services and chant from our sacred scriptures, all while deepening your Jewish involvement and understanding.

Adult Hebrew Course
Do you want to learn to read Hebrew? Would you like to be able to sound out the words in the prayer book?
This program has been designed to ease your way into Hebrew by rooting your work in words you may already know from the context of Jewish life.
Debi Rowe leads a weekly session from L’Shon Ha-Kodesh – A Beginning Hebrew Book for Adults to guide anyone who wants to learn Hebrew. The textbook includes an Introduction and ten individual lessons.
May our journey be rich and rewarding!
