Adult Learning Opportunities 2009-2010

Shir Tikva provides a variety of adult learning opportunities, from special events, to short-term series, to ongoing classroom study opportunities.

Can you afford 10 minutes a day to become a better educated Jew? The Union of Reform Judaism offers a daily 10 minute reading called Ten Minutes of Torah delivered directly to your e-mail box every day. Go the URJ web site at www.urj.org/torah/ten for more information!

Information about classes for interfaith couples and individuals exploring Judaism in the Greater Boston area can be found on the Reform Judaism Boston web site at www.reformjudaismboston.org
