Location: Community House - Room 503

David Hoffman, Full Time Teacher

Delve into a multitude of Jewish texts to find and analyze the words of wisdom that have helped form the character of the Jewish people for thousands of years and still influence us today.  Together, we will look at excerpts from the Torah, the books of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes, as well as Pirkei Avot (The Sayings of the Fathers), and other lesser known pieces of wisdom literature, hoping to find connections and relationships between what the sources of our religion have taught us in terms of how to live in our world.  Since we will be looking at Hebrew texts with various translations, comfort with the Hebrew language is not required but would have a positive impact on our conversations.

Clergy Film Series: “Pray The Devil Back To Hell”

Clergy Film Series: “Pray The Devil Back To Hell”


Adult Education Events

Thursday March 11, 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Location: Central Synagogue - Pavilion

Rabbi Mo Salth

Pray the Devil Back to Hell chronicles the remarkable story of the courageous Liberian women who came together to end a bloody civil war and bring peace to their shattered country.

Thousands of women — ordinary mothers, grandmothers, aunts and daughters, both Christian and Muslim — came together to pray for peace and then staged a silent protest outside of the Presidential Palace. Armed only with white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions, they demanded a resolution to the country’s civil war. Their actions were a critical element in bringing about a agreement during the stalled peace talks.

A story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence, Pray the Devil Back to Hell honors the strength and perseverance of the women of Liberia. Inspiring, uplifting, and most of all motivating, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations.

Adult Education Events

Tuesday March 16, 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Location: Community House - Room 503

Yonni Wattenmaker, Director of Lifelong Learning and Marion Lev Cohen, MSW and Rabbinical Intern

For many of us, our formal Jewish education ended with our Bar or Bat Mitzvah, leaving us with a child’s view of our religion and one of the world’s greatest civilizations.  As adults we approach Judaism asking how it can enrich our lives today, with a desire for Judaic competency and literacy. Pathways to Jewish Knowledge will address these twin goals of thought and practice. We will explore Jewish life cycle events, holidays, theological precepts and prayer, starting with the fundamentals and beyond. We aspire to create a community of learners committed to learning and respectful dialogue.  Please bring lunch with you.

For more information please contact Yonni Wattenmaker, Director of Lifelong Learning at 212-838-5122 Extension 4031.

Location: Community House - Room 603

Marion Lev Cohen, MSW and Rabbinical Intern
How can Jewish ethical values and virtues enrich and guide us, be it in our personal conduct, or in our relationships with others and with God? Our texts and tradition speak to us about how to live an ethical and meaningful existence. They embrace matters ranging from hachnasat orchim (welcoming of guests) to miyut sichah (minimizing small talk), as just two examples of values that can inform our everyday behavior.  We will encounter, explore, and struggle with these concepts as they emerge in biblical and rabbinic sources. We will discuss how these teachings inspire us to live more spiritual and fulfilling lives, and help us create families and communities built on respect and trust.
