The Summer Learning Institute brings together adult Jewish learners
to experience in-depth study, spiritual renewal and personal growth.
Deepen your knowledge and learn techniques in one of three areas of
congregational life: engaging in serious Jewish study, welcoming
prospective Jews into your community, and facilitating and supporting
worship and life cycle rituals.
The Summer Learning Institute, by serving individuals, enriches
Jewish life and strengthens home congregations and communities. Couples
and friends are encouraged to attend the Institute together while
participating in different programs. We’ll be together at many meals and
for Shabbat. Join us for a rich mind and heart expanding study
experience!
We are pleased to announce that Rabbi Eric Yoffie will deliver
the d’var Torah in the Shabbat morning service on July 9th.
The catalogue is updated and includes the chuggim.

The Had’rachah Seminar is designed to teach lay leaders a variety of skills to help them support communal worship, lifecycle events and educational opportunities. Participants in the Had’rachah Seminar may use these skills in various ways—by serving a congregation that has no clergy; by working in an assisted living facility or adult community; or by assisting their congregational clergy.
