LIFELONG LEARNING
The Lifelong Learning committee works in conjunction with the Rabbi and Benita to coordinate speakers and plan a variety of activities that pique the interest of members of our community to sustain and renew our passion for Jewish learning. Past events have included speakers, films, book discussions, LGBTQ topics, political issues in Israel and Palestine, holidays, and food.
Our activities are also designed to enhance our connection to the HBT community.

Share your Expertise
Our Temple Hillel B’nai Torah community is blessed with a wealth of contacts and expertise among our own temple members. If you have an idea for a program, are interested in making a presentation or bringing in a guest speaker to present on a topic of interest to our community, please contact Benita at bblock@templehbt.org
Some activities are located within the synagogue and some, in members’ homes. Either way, all activities generally offer small group venues, something to perk your interest and offer a way to become better acquainted with members of our congregation.
If you are new and unfamiliar with an activity or locale, don’t hesitate to call the office for additional information, Chair Shelley Stevens; shelleystevens34@gmail.com
