Adult Education 2017-18 THeme The Dignity of DIFFERENceMonday Midrash Every Monday with Rabbi Knopf 12:15- 1:15 p.m. at Grove Ave. KR bring a dairy/veggie lunchAccording to tradition, the Torah has “70 faces.” Every word calls for interpretation. No one interpretation can claim to be the right understanding. The rabbis called this creative interpretation of Scripture “midrash,” and they left us a treasure trove of diverse opinions about the Torah. Join Rabbi Knopf for a journey through Midrash Rabbah, a classic collection of these teachings. We’ll start with Genesis and learn a little bit each week. No prior experience necessary. Bring an open mind and an inquisitive heart! Come to any or all sessions; RSVP for the first session on Oct. 23 at bethelrichmond.org/event/midrash
Rounds with the Rabbi Third Thursdays (next one Dec) with Rabbi Knopf 6 - 7 p.m. in the Blue Room (top floor of admin. building) Grab a drink with the guys on your way home from work as we discuss what Judaism has to say about juggling work, marriage, & young kids. RSVP at bethelrichmond.org/event/rounds
Talmud Every Tuesday (except Jewish and secular holidays) with Rabbi Emeritus Creditor 12:15-1:15 p.m. at Grove Ave. KR
Adult B’nei Mitzvah 2 Tuesdays per month thru May Fall dates Oct. 9, 23 | Nov. 6, 20 | Dec. 11, 18 with Hazzan Marian 7:30 p.m. at Grove Ave. KRAre you an adult who did not have a bar or bat mitzvah? Are you interested in taking part in this Jewish milestone? If you answered yes, why not be in touch with Hazzan Marian about participating in this year’s *brand new* adult b’nei mitzvah class. You’ll study with Hazzan Marian during the year and celebrate your adult b’nei mitzvah with other class participants on June 9, 2018.

News from Brown Religious School Ramona Brand, Director of Youth Learning
Fall Chugim were fun, instructive and successful!During the month of November, our 1st through 9th grade students were able to pick from four exciting electives filled with hands-on learning and connection to Jewish texts, histo-ry, culture, and values. Students in Light, Camera, Action created a video ver-sion of the Hanukkah story, “Hershel and the Hannukah Gob-lins”. They created costumes and props, and planned their roles with teachers, Brandon Metheny and Anna Nagle. Stu-
dents also served as production crew to videographer Ryan Piracha, and learned how to use the camera, sound equipment and learned editing techniques. They will share their video with the rest of the school. Students participating the Good Sports, learned about the Jewish Value of Shmirat Haguf (taking care of our bodies), famous Jewish sports figures and sports teams in Israel. They participated in sports games, played Gaga, and made their own Matkot paddles. Matkot, they learned is a very popular beach sport in Tel Aviv. Lead by teachers, Jennifer Markin, Harlan Loebman and Adam Sachs, they enjoyed the fast pace and activity of this Chug. Students in Mural Makers created two beautiful painting for our library. Under the director of art teacher, Sara Rosen and Maddie Berger, students design a mural with the theme “a land flowing with milk and honey”. Students studied texts that included this description of the land of Israel. They also learned about ancient apiaries discov-ered at the archeological site of Tel Rehov. Their artwork will enhance our school for years to come! Students in Into the Woods created our very own Beth-El Religious School Arbore-tum in our woods. With teachers, Eric Saar, Ronit Saar, Jordan Wilburn, students stud-ied psalms, prayers and blessings related to nature. They learned about Jewish Values of conservation and worked to create an outdoor interactive classroom that will serve the entire school. Students, raked, cleared paths, identified trees and plants, made signs in English and Hebrew and made new benches for the nature clearing. Another Chug session will take place in the spring and students will be able to choose a second elective.
