Adult Education

Temple Beth Emeth believes in lifelong learning and has a wide variety of engaging adultPart of one of the stain glass windows at TBE education programming. Programs are led by clergy members, staff and lay leaders, and range from formal study sessions, informal discussions, preparing for the holidays and more. If you're looking for a book club, to learn more about the Talmud, to delve into Jewish prayer, or you're interested in a retreat to connect with your fellow congregants, we have a program to meet your needs. And don't forget to check out our Affinity Groups for social programming and volunteer opportunities!

Morning Blessings

Do you like to start your day with a few moments of blessing and gratitude? Temple Beth Emeth's Morning Blessings is an opportunity to gather in community as Jews for a brief service welcoming the day through prayer, song and inspirational readings. Begun by Rabbi Whinston during the COVID lockdown and sustained by Rabbi Whinston and Cantor Annie Rose for the past 4 years, Morning Blessings is now facilitated by lay leaders. 

We meet on Zoom at 9:15 am Monday-Friday for fifteen to twenty minutes. Morning Blessings provides an opportunity to express our gratitude for the day through Jewish prayer, to offer Mi Shebeirach prayers for those in our lives needing healing, or to say Kaddish in a Reform Jewish setting when we are in mourning. Some people come to say hello and connect. On Fridays, we are HYBRID, meeting in the Chapel at TBE and on Zoom with an optional run to a local coffee shop after for schmoozing. Whatever your reason, Morning Blessings is here for you.

 The zoom link is on the TBE homepage. We hope to see you at Morning Blessings Monday - Friday every week at 9:15am!
