Kol Ami offers a variety of educational programs and social opportunities for adults. Two committees support these programs. The Adult Jewish Education Committee, plans and implements Jewish religious and cultural education programs. Social programs and other non-ritual events are covered by the Programs Committee. This page lists our ongoing and upcoming programs and offers information about programs we've held in the past. If you'd like to suggest a program for either committee, please contact the appropriate chairperson.
Parasha Study Seminar: Facilitated by Marcel Infeld, the Parasha
study seminar is a wonderful way to study and learn about each chapter of the
Torah. Group participation is highly desired, and no former knowledge is
necessary. Bring your Bible, your enthusiasm, and your questions to class the
first Sunday of every month. The Parasha Study group meets at UUCA the first Sunday of
every month. The first meeting took place on Sunday, October 14, 2012, and the seminar will continue to Sept 1, 2013. Monthly reading assignments are listed in the events calendar.
The Kol Ami Book Group, led by Toby Greenwald, meets monthly at area restaurants to "read and feed." Discussions of books such as Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, The Red Tent, Postville: A Clash of Cultures, Bee Season, and Sabbathday River have been lively.
