Adult Education

Adult Education Course:

Modern Giants of Jewish Thought, February – May 2023

An Exploration of Major Jewish Thinkers of the Past 100 Years

Rabbi Alan Henkin will offer a six-part class on some of the most important shapers of modern Jewish thought. This Adult Ed class will be an adventure in the challenging, controversial thinking of Jewish thought-leaders of 20th and 21st centuries.

The class will meet on Sundays at 7:00pm on Zoom, and they’ll be recorded. Each session is stand-alone, so you can miss one and not be lost in the next.
