Adult Education

Kol HaLev offers many different ways for members to broaden their understanding of Judaism spiritually, historically, culturally and religiously with special attention to the Reconstructionist viewpoint.  Your input and ideas for programming are always welcome.

Sue and Eric Kisch Co-chairs

Our Adult Education committee announces the following programs for the coming year. Additional information about the programs will appear in the monthly update and in the weekly update. Join us as part of your continuing Jewish education and spiritual journey.  Most of our offerings take place at our members’ homes.

Reconstructionism 101 (October 25, November 1 and 8, 2009 from 7:30-9:30 pm)
Are you new to Kol HaLev or Reconstructionism?  Are you finding yourself tongue-tied when friends and relatives ask you to define Reconstructionism or to compare it to the other major Jewish movements?  Then come to "Recon 101" with Rabbi Steve.  Examine the core ideas and history of the Reconstructionist approach to Judaism, and learn about some of the unique aspects of our movement.  This three-session Kol HaLev class on understanding the Reconstructionist movement will be held from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Sundays, October 25, November 1, and November 8.  Contact Eric or Sue Kisch for details.

Ater a lengthy hiatus, the Israel Study group will meet again!

The topics for our meeting will include updates from two of our youth, Max Barnett and Rachel Davidson, both of whom were in Israel this past year, Max on the Agnon trip and Rachel on the Noar Hadash Trip. 

We will also have an open discussion of "Are we on the right track towards peace".

Hope many new people will join us!
