Adults
Beth Tzedec want to play an important role in your Jewish Journey, with opportunities to learn and grow as a Congregation. We offer programs for learners of all ages to deepen and grow their understanding of Jewish thought and traditions. We host guest lecturers and academics who stand out in their fields, including our own members. Come and learn. It’s all here.
