Home > Grow > Lifelong Learning

At Temple Sinai, we believe learning doesn’t end when you age out of religious school. We believe it’s a life-long process that nourishes the mind, the heart, and the soul, so we offer a host of adult education opportunities that connect us more deeply with our Judaism and with each other.

Temple Sinai offers many ongoing and special programs to help our congregants be knowledgeable, active and competent members of the Jewish community. We offer a range of programs to those who wish to expand their knowledge of Hebrew, Judaism, current events, and Torah. Our learning opportunities are taught by our inspiring clergy, dedicated senior staff, talented lay volunteers, and Scholars and Artists-in-Residence. Learning at Temple Sinai is a joyful, engaging, and enriching journey. We warmly welcome learners at every level of knowledge to learn and grow with us.

See our monthly Temple Sinai Tablet and the calendar for additional program details.
