KEHILATH JESHURUN BULLETIN 3 THE KEHILATH JESHURUN ADULT INSTITUTE

On these two pages we are proud to present the 1975-76 Adult Education Program of Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun. You will find listed on these pages new offerings and old favorites designed to meet a variety of needs for men and women on weekends, during the daytime hours on Tuesday, as well as on Sunday and Tuesday evenings. The special evening lecture series to be held on Tuesdays and Sundays will be taught by outstanding professors, each of whom will treat a subject in which he has specialized in scholarly work.

We would like to enroll every member of the congregation in one course or another. We feel that the study of Torah as is important as prayer and religious practice. If we foster the latter, we must also promote and enhance the former. We urge you to read the course offerings carefully, select one or more courses that jmeet your needs and inform us of your interest by filling out and returning the form which appears on page 4.

In order to defray the cost of our Adult Institute and, at the same time, to encourage commitment to the program there will be a charge of $10.00 per person or $15.00 per family which will cover all of the course offerings.
