Adult Education

	The Primary goal of Adult Education at Temple Beth Tikvah is to develop and nurture a heightened Jewish awareness. In the past, courses such as Jewish Medical Ethics, Beginning Hebrew, and Jewish Belief after the Holocaust have been offered. Midrash study, Basic Judaism, Torah study and Bible class are part of an ongoing, wide variety of classes which respond to members' interest and requests. An intensive course of study, leading to Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah, is offered every two years. During the calendar year, special guest speakers give individual lectures and workshops.

Temple Beth Tikvah is offering both continuing and new courses this year. Classes are held at TBT,usually in the Library. Kollel Jewish Bioethics – Mondays, 7:30-8:30 pm This program consists of seven sessions given by Rabbi Kogan. The focus of the course is on what Jewish Bioethics means in the 21st century. As technology results in evermore complex and difficult decisions for people throughout the life cycle, questions arise about the Jewish view on issues at the beginning and end of life. We will learn from Jewish texts and consider issues that relate to personal and religious decision-making. Class dates and topics are listed below.
