AA SYNOGOGUE

Adult Education

The Goodman Institute (est. 2002) makes it possible for every member of the AA community to travel his/her own path to Jewish learning. We offer a wide variety of programs (mostly free of charge) designed to serve the needs of beginning learners, advanced learners and everyone in between. Our scope includes the fundamental texts of Conservative Judaism, Jewish history, Zionism and Israel, religious beliefs, practices and rituals, Jewish philosophy, Hebrew language and all aspects of Jewish culture, including literature, music, art and drama.

This first-of-its-kind-in-Atlanta program is cosponsored with the Atlanta Chevre Minyan, a traditional, independent minyan of young professionals. This new learning format features text study led by guest rabbis and community educators from across the denominational spectrum. As such, the Community Beit Midrash is the first adult text study program in Atlanta that includes all denominations.

This month's TOPIC:

Eishet Chayil:
A Woman of Valor, Who Can Find?

Our Guests:

Husband and wife team Sim Pearl, Head of The Weber School, and Dr. Elana Zimand, Psychologist and Jewish Educator, will present opposing viewpoints - one tra-ditional and one feminist - on the blessing which Jewish husbands bestow on their wives at Shabbat dinner. Join us for the liveliest evening of text study and discussion in Atlanta!

This evening is not to be missed. Please join us for this exciting new learning experience, and then become a regular monthly participant! For more information contact Rabbi Rosenthal | 404.603.5744.
