ADULT EDUCATION
BET TORAH IN THE CITY

We will be continuing "Bet Torah in the City" for the second year as part of our ongoing mission to provide more accessible adult discussion opportunities for members of our community. Get to know your fellow Bet Torah commuters as this year we explore together the topic of relationships and how they impact us. We will think together about our relationships both in our homes and in our workplaces and will gather from 12:00-1:30 monthly in midtown offices. Like last year, Rabbi's Brusso and Koffman will alternate in facilitating the conversations each month. If you are interested-even if you think you might be able to attend only one or a few of the dates please email
 [email protected]
so we can add you to our email list.

Thursdays: November 3rd, December 1st, January 5th, February 2nd, March 2nd, April 6th, May 4th
