Life-long Jewish learning is a core value at Or Chadash and we have many opportunities for adult education and study. Rabbi Kobey holds Torah Study every Saturday morning and the Adult Education committee is always busy planning for guest speakers, discussion groups, movie nights and more.
We are planning an exciting mix of Torah study, movies, book discussions, seminars, and round-table discussions.
We will take field trips to Jewish museums. We will be holding a seminar series on the Jewish point of view on Ethics on topics such as abortion, cloning, euthanasia, etc. We will participate in interfaith dialogues. Come join us!
Lunch and Learn
Join Rabbi Kobey for these lunchtime seminars exploring different areas of Judaism or studying various texts. Past topics have included the Book of Ruth, Jewish views on the death penalty and euthanasia, the Book of Esther, and the 613 Commandments.
We usually meet at Ledo's in Damascus, but locations may vary. If you're interested, but can't get to lunch in Damascus, contact Rabbi Kobey. She will set up alternate locations if there's interest. Check the temple calendar for dates.

Torah Study
Saturday Morning Torah Study 10:00 -11:00 am. (8:30-9:30 when a Saturdy morning Shabbat Service is scheduled.) Torah study with Rabbi Kobey and other interested congregants is a marvelous opportunity to learn in greater depth what the Torah has to say to 21st century American Jews. Knowledge of Hebrew is not necessary. The only qualifications you need for this hour are a genuine interest, and the ability to ask questions.
