Adult Education
Lifelong study is a cornerstone of Jewish life. Yet study without action does not lead to wisdom, so at Shir Shalom we stress the essence of Jewish life where lifelong Jewish learning leads to action, social justice, and a place of deeper spiritual connection.
It is said in Pirkei Avot that when two people study together, the Shechinah dwells among them. Learning together is an access point to the Divine.
