Welcome to our Adult Education hub—your gateway to vibrant, thoughtful, and enriching Jewish learning.
Whether you’re new to Judaism or a longtime member of the Temple Sinai community, we invite you to explore meaningful opportunities to deepen your Jewish knowledge, engage with sacred texts, and find inspiration at every stage of life. Learning is a lifelong journey, and we’re here to walk it with you.
Each week, our Torah Study group meets via Zoom to explore the Torah verse by verse, delving deeply into the original Hebrew, classical rabbinic commentaries, and contemporary interpretations. Together, we investigate the text, draw on centuries of Jewish wisdom, and wrestle with its meaning for our lives today.
Throughout the year, we also offer a variety of dynamic classes covering everything from Jewish history and ritual, to ethics, Hebrew, and contemporary issues. Taught by clergy, guest educators, and fellow congregants, our programs are designed to be accessible, engaging, and relevant.
Scroll down to explore current offerings, learn more about Torah Study, and discover ways to grow your Jewish knowledge in a community of learners.
Every Shabbat morning, at 10:00 am (Pacific Time) on Saturdays, we gather on Zoom to explore the Torah verse by verse—unpacking its wisdom, debating its meanings, and discovering its relevance to our lives today. Our group includes both congregants and visitors, Jews and non-Jews, all coming together in an open and thoughtful conversation. We dive deep into the Torah, verse by verse, exploring the original Hebrew text alongside traditional and contemporary commentaries.
