The Summer Learning Institute brings together adult
Jewish learners to experience in-depth study, spiritual renewal and personal
growth. Each of these programs offers a unique and focused learning opportunity for individuals to deepen their knowledge and learn techniques in one of three areas of congregational life: engaging in serious Jewish study, working with interfaith families, 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!

This innovative five-day program will prepare lay leaders to support, educate and encourage interfaith couples and families to make Jewish choices in their lives. Participants will receive a thorough grounding in group facilitation by specifically addressing the challenges of interfaith families.
The Had’rachah
Seminar is designed to teach lay leaders a variety of skills to help
them support communal worship, life-cycle 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.
