Kollels (classes) on a variety of interesting topics and Jewish history seminars are held several times a year and usually take place over the course of several weeks. Some are offered for a nominal fee, others are free; all are open to the entire community.
Weekday Talmud Study Group
Thursdays at 10 a.m. on Zoom
Our Thursday study focuses on the Talmud, home of deep wisdom, spirited debates, and stories so quirky you’ll wonder if the rabbis missed their calling as comedians.
Each week we’ll explore one tale and what it can teach us today. No background needed, just curiosity and a sense of humor. Come learn, laugh a little, and discover timeless meaning in these ancient stories.
Note: Talmud study is on hiatus until after the High Holy Days on Thursday, October 22 at 10 a.m. on Zoom.

ADULT ED AT A GLANCE
Special Programs/Visiting Scholars/Holiday Programs
Throughout the year, CAI hosts visiting scholars who offer a variety of Judaic topics. Generally, the scholar-in-residence participates in a Shabbat service, followed by a Shabbat dinner, and his/her presentation. As part of the Shabbat morning service he/she may deliver the D’Var Torah and lead our Torah Study that afternoon. Some visiting scholars also lead family workshops.
