Adult education

Varied programming for diverse needs

Our adult education connects Jewish traditions, rituals, and teachings to everyday life and the modern world.

Study session topics vary -- Hebrew lessons and Torah studies, adult b'nai mitzvot classes, panel discussions with renowned Jewish and Judaic experts, movie screenings, book clubs, and study groups that weave Judaism into every facet of one's life.

Enjoy festive Israeli dancing that encourages all ages and skill levels -- a great way to spend an afternoon!

Hear fascinating speakers who represent a variety of organizations within the Jewish spectrum, such as JIMENA (Jews Indigneous to the Middle East and North Africa), The Center for Human Genetics, Lehrhaus Judaica, the Sino-Judaic Institute, and many others.

Connect with our origins by examining The B'nai Emunah Shanghai Memorial Project, a permanent exhibit that recounts the lives and experiences of our founders through photographs, memorabilia, personal narratives, and much more.

Explore the link to our spiritual homeland with guided trips to Israel, which include visits to yeshivot, Masorti congregations, and points of interest that are off the beaten path.
