Add a Little Class to your Life with the Chai Adult Education Program


It’s always interesting to learn new things about our heritage, Jewish law, about the Torah and about the ins and outs of life. The best thing about it – it’s never late to enrich the mind.

The Chai Center invites you to take part in the Jewish Learning Institute. Everybody loves a good story and the stories of the book of Genesis are the oldest stories in the world, yet they continue to inspire countless retellings and adaptations.

They retain their power because they deal with the most powerful of human motives: the quests for love, purpose, identity, and redemption. They also explore the inner obstacles that threaten these goals: lust, greed, hatred and jealousy.

When you explore these stories, you will identify with characters who grapple with the feelings and dilemmas that are at the heart of the human experience. You will see how their stories are also the stories of YOUR life, reflecting your joy and your pain, your struggles and your victories. And you will learn how the Torah’s eternal values provide insight that helps you respond more thoughtfully as you face critical moments of your own.

Every Monday evening we study the Shulchan Aruch – the Code of Jewish Law with the Torah as our guide. So come on by and check the full schedule of the Chai Adult Education program. We’re positive you’ll find something interesting that will change the way you think.
