Education

Neve Shalom is committed to lifelong Jewish learning and offers a wide variety of educational experiences for its entire congregational community.

Adult Education

Neve Shalom is particularly proud of its Adult Education programs. The program recently received the Solomon Schechter Silver Award from the United Synagogue as one of the finest adult education programs in the country. One Friday evening service each month features an outstanding guest speaker. Each year a world renowned Scholar-in-Residence delivers several sessions over the course of a weekend. Courses span the spectrum from Beginner Hebrew to Advanced Talmud. Especially popular is a course given by the Rabbi on Sunday mornings. Adult Education offers mini-courses in members' homes and community programs such as the annual Book and Author Event. Periodically, a two year study program is offered leading to an adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah.

ConText is a four-semester program conducted over two years. Each academic semester will consist of eight sessions and will have a month long break in January. The curriculum focuses on two major themes: Jewish Texts and Interpretation and Jewish Cultures and Communities. ConText will provide sophisticated adult learners with a framework for understanding the Jewish past, refining their personal approach to the challenges of contemporary Jewish life, and a basis for developing a unique and informed outlook toward the Jewish future.
