Learn to Blow the Shofar
Join Mike Haas, Beth Sholom Temple’s Ba’al Tekiah, to learn about the mitzvah of hearing the shofar, the different notes that are sounded during the High Holy Day services, and practice making the sounds yourself. Bring your own shofar or place an order through BST by August 16 ($20 for a small or $30 for medium size ram’s horn). Contact Sabina Weitzman to order. -Click here and click here for learning materials.
Adult Education
Learn to Read Hebrew
We offer a Hebrew course for adults, using the same Hebrew Through Prayer curriculum used by our younger students. While the kids cover the material in four years, adults go through it in two years. By the end, you will be able to not only read Hebrew, but you will know the meaning behind many of the prayers said during services, as well as basic vocabulary.
The adult class takes place on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. typically between September and May. Tuition is $50 for members and $75 for non-members per semester.
If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Edie Evans at gatoredie@yahoo.com
