Adult Education Committee

Purpose: This committee plans educational courses, workshops, lectures, and other learning opportunities for our community. The courses are generally 3-6 sessions in length. The longer courses may be designed for members who are unfamiliar with traditional services and customs, or for members who are well educated and comfortable with Conservative Judaism. Single-day workshops and events are designed to appeal to all TI members.
