Our Personal Jewish Journey ...
Are you interested in learning more about your Jewish heritage? Would you like to delve deeper into what it means to be a Jew? Do you want to push your spiritual horizons in new directions? But rather than sharing in a class, would you rather pursue your Jewish journey on your own? If so, Rabbi Klein, Rabbi Gordon, or Cantor Becker would be happy to meet with you on a one-on-one basis, meeting periodically to move in the direction you wish to pursue. Just contact them, and begin - or continue - your search.

Beit Sefer Café A Fresh Approach to Adult Learning!
A Beit Sefer is a school. A Beit Cafe is a coffee house.
Beit Sefer Café is the best of both!
For three Monday evenings in the fall students can take two stimulating classes each week: a single shot (free standing one session offering--a different one each week!) and a triple shot (one class lasting all three sessions). In between classes, everyone will meet at the Beit Café for really good coffee and pastries (stimulation of a different kind!).

Watch for the brochure, and register either by mail or through the website!

Mondays, November 7, 14, & 21
7:15-8:05 pm Single shot classes
8:05-8:25 pm Beit Café--coffee & nosh!
8:25-9:30 pm Triple shot classes

A joint project of SSTTE and Congregation Shaarei Tikvah. Come and enjoy a delicious weekday lunch at the synagogue, hear a stimulating speaker, and participate in some lively discussion.
