Adult Learning
Lifelong Jewish learning brings our shared story to life! From language and history to traditions and values, every moment of study helps us connect, grow, and actively participate in Jewish life. With year-round programs full of inspiration and community, there’s always a way to make your Jewish journey more vibrant and meaningful.
Torah Study
Every Saturday morning at 9am, our community meets together to study the Torah or Haftarah portion of the week. The class is led by our clergy team, and all material is studied through a Reform Jewish lens.
Educational Series
Adult learning opportunities at Temple take many forms; engaging Lunch & Learn sessions, interactive Zoom conversations with Rabbi Glasser and guest scholars, immersive Scholar-in-Residence weekends, and hands-on Sharing Our Skills classes that explore everything from Torah chanting to prayer-leading to sounding the shofar. Dates and details for all programs are available on the Temple calendar and our Temple Times Email.
Lunch & Learn
Explore ancient texts and modern insights with our rabbis as we navigate our world through a Jewish lens.
Sharing our Skills
Deepen your connection to Jewish life by mastering the practical skills of our tradition. Throughout the year, our clergy and knowledgeable members offer hands-on workshops designed to help you participate more fully in worship. From the art of sounding the Shofar to the ancient melodies of Torah chanting and the meaning behind our liturgy, these sessions empower you to own your Judaism with confidence and joy.
Scholar-in-Residence Series
We invite scholars, musicians, community partners and advocates to broaden our horizons at our annual Scholar-in-Residence weekend. Our scholar-in-residence program has included disability advocates through music, LBGTQ+ advocacy, a visiting rabbi scholar and cantorial soloist and, in 2026, we were joined by acclaimed composer and performer Elana Arian to experience the power of Jewish music to unite and inspire us.
The Path of Conversion at The Temple
All are welcome to explore Judaism here at the Temple! Rabbi Glasser meets with prospective students at the beginning of their journeys to guide individuals on their paths towards becoming part of the Jewish people.
