Adult Education at Ohev Shalom
About the Rubinger Adult Learning Institute
Congregation Ohev Shalom is proud to offer a variety of adult learning opportunities designed to bring life to your Judaism and meaning to your life.
On the occasion of the congregation’s 100th anniversary celebration in 2018, the Rubinger Adult Learning Institute was named in honor of our esteemed Rabbi Emeritus Aaron D. Rubinger, whose passion for teaching Jewish theology, history, literature, and culture has engaged and inspired COS members since the beginning of his tenure in 1990, and continues today.

Shabbat Learning Opportunities
Whether you are new to Jewish prayer, or you want to gain a deeper understanding of the prayers we recite during the Shabbat morning service, join us for "Exploring Prayer: A Deep Dive into the Siddur!"

You've read these stories before, and you think you know what they are all about.... but do you know what the Sages had to say about these stories?? Join us for Bible Stories You Thought You Knew and learn about some of the weird and wild Midrashic tales that will give you an entirely different perspective on the stories in the Hebrew Bible. These are the stories that you never learned in Sunday School!
