Beth El LifeLong Learning

The Beth El Lifelong Learning Committee is made up of Beth El members committed to bringing a variety of Jewish learning classes and programs to the Beth El and greater Triangle Jewish Communities.

Programs:

Our Triangle Community School for Continuing Jewish Education offers classes covering diverse topics during semester schedules, including courses such as Prayerbook Hebrew, Mindfulness Meditation, Jewish Holiday Series, Torah and Haftorah Trope, Psalms.

Classes mostly take place Sunday mornings at Beth El, or in the evenings in people's homes in Durham or Chapel Hill.

Most Saturday mornings at 8:45a.m., people meet in the Beth El Freedman Center to study Mishnah before Shabbat Services. There is also a text study on most Wednesday mornings (for approx. 20 minutes) following Wednesday morning minyan. Both of these study groups are open everyone whether you can come every week or only once in a while.

Please see our Activities Page for information on our two Book Groups!

Beth El also runs a special Shabbaton Weekend at Emerald Isle in December of every year.

Adult B'nei Mitzvah Program is an opportunity for adults to reconnect and recommit themselves to Judaism, studying together, learning to read Hebrew together, Torah trope, studying together, culminating in a special ceremony during Shavuot.

As our community continues to evolve, so do our needs for lifelong learning. The Lifelong Learning committee continues to develop programs and learning opportunities to address those evolving needs. To join this committee, contact our Lifelong Learning committee chair, Diane Markoff.
