At Barnert, we truly believe in developing and fostering a lifelong love of learning. This begins with our preschool program and continues through the various adult education and learning opportunities we offer throughout the year.
We are proud of the Adult Education offerings planned this year. Our Lifelong Learning Committee — in partnership with Rabbis Frishman, Steiner and Soffin — highly encourage ALL adults to try one or more of our diverse adult courses. There is something for everyone. Each course is interactive and intellectually stimulating. For any questions, please contact Sara Losch, Director of Lifelong Learning, at (201) 848-1027.
Adult education classes are open to all Temple members.
