Adult Education and Lifelong Learning
West End Synagogue is committed to universal adult study of Jewish sources, history and cultural expression in its many forms. Through our Yad Mordecai Adult Education Project, we pursue our vision of a congregation as literate and well-educated in Jewish terms as it is in secular terms.
Yad Mordecai programs and activities focus on the vital areas of education, community, and outreach:
- Education - Working to deepen the congregation's Jewish knowledge at all levels through educational and cultural programs and events.
- Community - Involving members, enhancing interaction among the various WES populations, enriching the communal life of the congregation, and complementing school programs for parents.
- Outreach - Providing educational opportunities for the community at large that enhance Jewish living and promote Reconstructionism.
Activities sponsored by the Yad Mordecai Project include:
- Single-session lectures and courses, as well as longer series on selected topics by our Rabbi, Cantor, and invited speakers.
- A variety of musical, theatrical, and literary programs.
- Scholar in Residence and Artist in Residence programs that bring prominent figures in Jewish thought and culture to West End Synagogue.
The Yad Mordecai Project has been funded by a grant from West End Synagogue founding members Dorothy and Sidney Becker.
