Adult Education at Temple Beth El sponsors Hebrew Literacy programs, Torah/Talmud study groups, classes in basic Judaism, and other topics related to Jewish thought and observance. Classes may be taught by our professional staff or lay members of the congregation with special knowledge or expertise.

Our goal is to promote learning and active participation in religious events. By increasing their knowledge and taking part in a broad array of temple events and observances, all Temple Beth El members can become more comfortable and involved in synagogue life. We therefore welcome congregants at all levels of prior experience and knowledge.

Your Adult Education Committee welcomes your feedback and comments about our programs. We also would love to hear your ideas! Please send an e-mail to office@templebethel-maine.org with "Comment for Adult Education" in the subject line.
