Adult Study Classes in 2025
February-March: Nefesh: Judaism’s Wisdom for Mental Health

Winter 2025-26: Making Justice Real: Legal and Political Ethics in the Torah’s Stories
We are committed to ensuring that Torah in all forms can connect all of us in the ways that are most accessible and convenient for each of us. In this spirit, Rabbi Noach’s classes will now be offered hybrid in-person and on Zoom. To create the atmosphere of sharing one conversation around one table, we have upgraded our technology with a large-screen TV so in-person participants can see and hear Zoomers, and a 360° camera so Zoomers can see and hear those speaking in-person. Please feel welcome to join us whether you are in or outside of Bloomington! We look forward to expanding the circle of our shared gatherings of mind and heart.
