adult education

Classes are held 4 to 5 times a week in the Synagogue or in members' homes. In the past they've included subjects such as

Life Cycle Events (e.g., welcoming a new child)
Hebrew
Adult Bar and Bat Mitzvah
Introduction to Judaism
Introduction to Talmud
Medieval Torah Commentators: Rashi and Rashbam
Jewish Views of Conflict Resolution

For a number of years, the Institute for Conversion and Outreach Education classes have been held at USH, led by Rabbi Scheinberg. For more information on this course, which satisfies some of the requirements for conversion to Judaism, please contact Rabbi Scheinberg.

We are excited to be organizing the "My Jewish Neighborhood" project, for which our synagogue has received funding from the Legacy Heritage Foundation. This project brings Jewish communal gatherings into USH members' homes in your local neighborhood. We are dividing Hoboken and surrounding areas into six neighborhood groupings, and a variety of events-including a Havdalah service, a Shabbat dinner, a cooking workshop, and an art project-will take place in each neighborhood. The project also includes several community-wide events, including a speaker, a Film Festival, and an end-of-the-year Shabbat retreat. For more information, contact Project Director Karen Nielsen.

For a complete list of adult education and other Synagogue activities, see the calendar.
