Dear Friends,

During these confusing and challenging days, many of you will find yourselves at home more than usual and we want to offer you ways to use that time to excite your mind, learn something new and distract yourself from the uncertainty.

The Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center is excited to offer these FREE one-session online classes twice daily from March 23 through April 3, from 10:30 to 11:45 AM and from 6:30 to 7:45 PM (except for Friday, when we’ll offer the morning session only). The classes will be conducted via Zoom, which you can access easily on any computer.

Once you register for a class or classes, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to join the session.

Temple Emanu-El is trying to ensure that we remain “open,” albeit virtually, as we move through the current crisis. So take one of our classes, access a book through our library or attend services online here. Please stay calm and safe!
