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 21 st
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.
