Adult Learning Program

A wide range of adult learning programs are offered at JRC. Mini-courses, monthly classes, workshops, retreats, and communal programs touch on a wide variety of topics and interests.

At JRC, Judaism is studied using the texts of tradition as well as the tools of modernity--we seek both intellectual and spiritual engagement.

Studying together and sharing insights and experiences is yet another way in which JRC members come to know each other.

JRC Sunday Book Group

The Sunday Book Group has been meeting for approximately 20 years, usually on the second Sunday of the month at 10 am. Its members draw on every constituency of the congregation, young and old, single and married, men and women, literary types and mystery fiction readers. There are no requirements for membership. Books are chosen based on eclectic standards and include fiction, non-fiction, Israeli and Jewish themes, authors or characters. The library will often have several copies of the book selection and members will share copies with others. Everyone is welcome.
