Adult Learning
At Congregation Beth Torah we approach adult education as part of the path of Lifelong Jewish Learning. From September to May we offer weekly Sunday morning and occasional Wednesday night courses when the Weiner Religious School is in session. There are also year-long courses on Shabbat morning, Thursday morning, and Wednesday afternoon.

Florence Melton Adult Mini School at Beth Torah
In May we had fourteen Beth Torah members graduate from the community-wide Florence Melton Adult Mini School. Now we are ready to begin another four-year course of study with new students excited about a pluralistic, in-depth, text-based study of Jewish history, ethics and life. The class at Beth Torah will meet on Sunday mornings at 10:00-11:00 a.m., mostly aligned with the Sunday school schedule. Registration is a must for this invaluable learning opportunity.
Our 2010 graduates will happily answer your questions and share their experiences, or you may contact Jeff Goldenberg, JCC Director of Adult Education at 913 327 4647 or jeffg@jewishkc.org. The cost is $265 for the full year of learning, including texts. There are also 2-year courses offered at other times at the JCC.

In the Bride’s Room
Join our ongoing Talmud discussion group for a midweek lunch and learn. We promise to engage you in rabbinic thought combined with modern sensibilities. Participants read aloud from the Shottenstein translation of the Talmud (Artscroll), taking time to discuss and question along the way. There isn’t any homework, no prior knowledge is necessary, and you will be amazed, impressed, and excited by how quickly your understanding of Talmud begins to develop as you explore this critical text with new friends.

Looking for something new? Sunday mornings at Beth Torah are easier than ever! Worship begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by the ultimate schmooze session from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. with good conversation, games, coffee and of course bagels and cream cheese (we’ve got toasters too!). Every first Sunday Funday of the month we will add lox to the mix! Beth Torah will offer a play rug, toys and books for family fun and games, and we will have The Kansas City Star, The New York Times and The Pitch. If you’re looking for an excuse to get out of the house, have some breakfast AND make new friends or catch up with old ones, then Beth Torah is your Sunday morning spot.
