Adult Education Programs
Adult Education at Temple Emanu-El presents a myriad of programs for adults throughout the week. Check the monthly calendar on this web site for dates and times or call the office for detailed information (416-449-3880).
In addition, ongoing learning opportunities include:
- Shabbat Learning - Discuss, debate and dispute - everyone and all perspectives welcome! No prior Torah study required. Shabbat (Saturday) mornings, 9:00 am October - June.
- Introduction to Hebrew - Adult Hebrew: Join our fun and effective introductory Hebrew classes, designed for adult learners with or without any prior Hebrew studies. These small classes focus on siddur (prayer book) Hebrew and serve to increase Shabbat service familiarity. Scheduled on an on-going basis (Wednesday mornings). Non-members, please email randi@templeemanuel.ca for course fee information.
- Torah Chanting and Service Honours - Learn how to chant Torah or to be comfortable accepting any honour in our service (such as a Torah aliyah or chanting the Haftarah blessings) in small classes. Contact Cantor Judy Adelman Gershon for more information (judy@templeemanuel.ca). Click here to hear audio of our Torah & Haftarah blessings.
