Adult Torah School Schedule
Adult Torah School
Sunday Mornings, 9:45AM-11:45AM
Adult Torah School is back in session. Every Sunday that Torah School meets, the adults gather together with Rabbi Andrew to learn. No experience required. This year, we are focusing on Torah - studying the stories of Genesis in depth. We will rely on the insights of the famous medieval scholar, Rashi.
The 2007-2008/5768 Adult Education Program at Ramat Shalom promises to be exciting
Here are just some examples of what we will be offering this year:
