Adult education text study classes in the evening, Modern Hebrew and Biblical Hebrew classes, lunch and learn discussions, and academic lectures on Sunday evenings are scheduled throughout the year. The Alfred and Alice Rosenberg Adult Scholar in Residence brings in noted scholars from around the world every other year. The Women's League Torah Fund Shabbat, the Henry Gershowitz Memorial Shabbat, and the Teen Shabbat all train members to become active leaders of the congregation on Shabbat by chanting the Torah and Haftorah portions, leading prayers, and giving the D'var Torah.
