At Beth Emeth, we know Jewish learning doesn't begin with religious school or end with Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
Learning, education and life-long study are among our top priorities. In keeping with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ), we see Jewish education as a way to secure our life as a Jewish people. We also enjoy Jewish learning as a way to own our Jewish heritage — to make our prayers, history and culture more accessible to us within our modern American setting.
We feel that ritual observance becomes more meaningful with understanding, and as a congregation, we strive to help members climb the ladder of Jewish knowledge and observance. The result of our passion for learning and growth is that we have a unique and truly amazing number of lay leaders, young and old, who read Torah, lead services, teach classes and participate fully in an active Jewish life.
Beth Emeth have a broad range of educational opportunities for all ages, even if you don't know Hebrew, the prayers, the melodies, or Jewish history. Classes are taught by Rabbi Warner, professional educators and others with special qualifications and knowledge. Browse our website for current offerings. Questions?
