Monday Nights at Temple for All WHC Adults

Building on the success of our Back to Basics, L'Chayim, and other adult education programs, WHC is excited to introduce a new opportunity for in-depth adult study. Monday evenings at Temple, our rabbis and educators will offer multiple short-term and longer-term courses, designed to inform and enrich the lives of Jewish adults. Join us for meaningful Jewish learning and community!

Adult Hebrew, 7:00 – 8:00 pm
Designed for adults who already have some ability to read the Hebrew alphabet, this course offers an introduction to Hebrew as a language. In the course of this class, you will begin to UNDERSTAND the language of the prayer book and the Bible.

Mini-Courses, 7:00 – 8:00 pm
The Jewish Internet, Reform Judaism and Israel, Untangling Rabbinic Texts, Jewish Poetry… and many more! WHC rabbis, cantors, and educators will teach short-term courses on a wide variety of topics.

Beyond Basics, 8:15 – 9:15 pm
Taught by Rabbi Fabricant, this semester-long course will be an opportunity for deep and sophisticated engagement with a selected Jewish topic. Jewish Prayer, Rabbinic Texts, Modern Jewish History — take your Jewish knowledge to the next level!

Introduction to Judaism, 7:00 – 9:15 pm
Perfect for those considering conversion or marriage, interfaith couples, or anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of Judaism. Through classes, readings, and hands-on experience, this class becomes a true community of learners—developing a strong foundation for participating in Jewish life.
