Adult Learning
“It is a Tree of Life (Eitz Chayim) to those who hold it fast, and all who cling to it find happiness. Its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all its paths are peace.”– Proverbs 3:17-18
Lifelong Jewish learning is the best way to apply Jewish values. Learning is about the knowledge we gain and how it guides our actions. Studying enables us to think and act in more significant and more profound ways.
