New Adult Education Opportunities
Members of the Tribe Melton Class Tuesdays from 7:00 - 8:30 pm, October 5 - November 9 Zoom Only
Facilitated Rabbi Jeffrey Abraham In this short six-session quest, we’ll dive deep into a fundamental, challenging question: “What is the overarching purpose of living Jewishly?” We’ll discuss the responsibilities, pressures, and misconceptions that come with being called “the Chosen People.” Together, we’ll learn the meanings behind rituals like kashrut, symbols like mezuzah, and why Israel matters so much. A deeper understanding of “the Tribe” informs and enriches both the nation’s collective actions as well as individual responses to life’s big questions.
Standard tuition is $179. Individuals working for Jewish organizations can apply for a Jewish professionals discount by contacting Andrew@testl.org for a discount code.
