21 in ’21
We are thrilled to launch a mini-semester of learning at Temple, “21 for ’21” — twenty-one adult learning opportunities at TIU (Temple Israel University) beginning this January.
Beyond the weekly Shabbat morning Torah Study and ongoing virtual adult Hebrew, classes range from Pirke Avot with Dr. Joe Levy and mindfulness with Greg Graber, to our Embracing Judaism class based on the Reform movement’s new text, “Honoring Tradition, Embracing Modernity.”
“Adult learning at Temple is booming. Attendance has mushroomed throughout 2020 without anyone even in the building! Whether your interest is music and meditation or text study and our ‘Ask the Rabbi’ series, virtual reality makes it possible to join every TIU class.” – Rabbi Micah D. Greenstein
The full schedule is listed below. Descriptions of Temple’s TIU offerings can be found at timemphis.org/tiu.
For questions about a specific class, please contact Temple Israel’s Judaic Program Specialist, Lynn Owen, at lynno@timemphis.org or 901.761.3130.
