Continuing education is a vital part of Judaism and can deepen one's understanding of Jewish history, heritage, culture and traditions.

Kollels

Kollels (classes) on a variety of interesting topics and Jewish history seminars are held several times a year and usually take place over the course of several weeks. Some are offered for a nominal fee, others are free; all are open to the entire community.

Special Programs/Visiting Scholars/Holiday Programs

Throughout the year, CAI hosts visiting scholars who offer a variety of Judaic topics. Generally, the scholar-in-residence participates in a Shabbat service, followed by a Shabbat dinner, and his/her presentation. As part of the Shabbat morning service he/she may deliver the D’Var Torah and lead our Torah Study that afternoon. Some visiting scholars also lead family workshops. Portions of a scholar’s visit are https://caiaz.org/lifelong-learning/scholar-in-residence/ open to the community and may include a nominal fee.

Ongoing

Weekday Talmud Study Group

Thursdays at 10:00am on Zoom

See Calendar page for schedule. 

We’re kicking off the secular new year with our Thursday study shifting
to the Talmud, home of deep wisdom, spirited debates, and stories so
quirky you’ll wonder if the rabbis missed their calling as comedians.
Each week we’ll explore one tale and what it can teach us today. No
background needed, just curiosity and a sense of humor. Come learn,
laugh a little, and discover timeless meaning in these ancient stories.

Zoom  and other links are available in your e-mail.
Call (520) 745-5550 for more information or to be added to our email list 
or to pick up books for home use.
