Adult EducationTuesday nights are the time for Tanakh (Hebrew scriptures) study at Synagogue for the Arts. We've met regularly for more than 14 years! This year we completed the Book of Nechemiah and are now studying Ruth. Every time we finish a book we have a siyyum (finishing celebration at the Synagogue or at a restaurant). The class is for any level and meets most Tuesdays at 6 P.M. (to confirm scheduling, call the office at 212-966-7141). Feel free to jump in! Our congregation frequently explores new areas of text and culture, and new adult education programs are in the works. We have two world-renowned scholars-in-residence providing unique opportunities for learning: Dr. Freema Gottlieb, a member of Synagogue for the Arts, is an author and teacher of midrash and bible. Dr. Aaron Demsky is the Bar Ilan biblical historian. Each gave talks in spring 2006 (see Events) and will be addressing us again next year. Each year on Shabbat T'lamdeini the Drisha Institute sends a woman scholar to address the congregation. The congregation works with the cultural arm of the Israel consulate to present scholars and relevant personalities at the Synagogue.
