B’nai Sholom offers a number of opportunities for adult education and cultural enrichment.  Study and discussion groups are offered throughout the year.

Topics may include:

   - discussion of Jewish ethics and theology

   - beginning Hebrew

   - conversational Hebrew

   - learning songs and prayers for services

   - topics of interest to Jews by choice

   - practice of the prayer book and order of service

In addition Rabbi Wucher teaches classes at Marshall University each year concerning Jewish topics.  We also have special programs and guest speakers at the Temple made possible in part by funding through the Arthur and Joan Meyer Weisberg Adult Education Fund  and Federated Jewish Charities of Huntington. 

Information about such programs will be in the newsletter as details are available.  If you are interested in participating you may call the Temple office.
