The success of the program hinges on the dedication of the Adult Education committee, which has grown from a small committee to a large one of exceptional volunteers. Terri Swartz Russell, who is the Family Educator at a different Conservative synagogue and a past recipient of the BJE Keter Torah Award, and Linna Ettinger, a Me’ah
graduate and a recipient of the Me’ah Graduate Institute Certificate in Jewish Thought and Spirituality, co-chair the committee. Sylvia Schatz has been a member of the Adult Education Committee for the longest period of time, providing our committee with valuable insight and historical background. Other members have been on board for several years, providing stability to the committee, while others who are new provide energy and renewed commitment to life-long Jewish learning.

The Adult Education Committee works closely with Rabbi David Lerner and with Rabbi Marci Jacobs, who enjoy teaching adults all year long. Each member of the Adult Education Committee and the subcommittees are vital members and are a critical component of the success of the Adult Education Program. If you have any questions at all about any of our programs, please contact an Adult Education Committee member and we will be happy to assist you. Questions may be addressed by clicking this link.
