Have you ever been interested in learning to read Shabbat prayers? Have you wanted to help your child prepare for his/her b’nai mitzvah? Have you missed out on your own bar/bat mitzvah service? Or are you just intrigued about learning something new with other interested adults?

If so, this year Shaari Emeth is offering our Adult Hebrew Class for Beginners! This is the first step towards becoming an adult B-Mitzvah! We will start the year with learning the Aleph Bet and continue with the study of the Shabbat prayers.

Classes will begin on November 1st 7:00pm -8:00pm and continue on Tuesday nights throughout the school year. Ready to tackle what your children have been studying for years? Sign up and join us!
