Adult Education

Adult Education provides a variety of high-quality programming for our community, seeking to enhance the congregation’s understanding of the culture, religion, and practices of the Jewish people, both past and present, in our country and around the world. Our programs include:

  • Guest speakers
  • Talks and films about Israel and the Diaspora, including discount tickets to the Boston Jewish Film Festival
  • Seasonal series of classes led by our clergy
  • Adult B’nai Mitzvah classes
  • Music and other special events, in person and on Zoom. 

While many of our programs are offered free of charge, we greatly appreciate any and all donations to the Arnold and Leona Rubin Adult Education Fund to help us defray costs and assist us in continuing to bring high quality programming to our community.

For more information, please email our chairs at adulted@bnaitikvahma.org.

A Novel Group

On Monday, May 19, we are discussing The Midwife of Venice by Roberta Rich, a great novel set during the Renaissance in Venice about a Jewish midwife who had to survive amid anti-Semitism and strict rules to practice her profession. When her merchant husband is kidnapped by pirates, the story soars.

On Monday, June 16, we will read Zabar’s by Lori Zabar, the colorful history of the founding and growth of one of New York City’s most popular stores and the story of the immigrant Jewish family that started it and still runs the business.  Recipes included.
