Adult Education

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.

Join Rabbi Gilah Langner, in a variety of Adult Education programs after services on Saturday or on Sunday afternoons at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 4444 Arlington Blvd., Arlington, VA. The classes are interactive, free, and open to the public; no prior knowledge is necessary. For more information, contact rabbi@kolamivirginia.org

Schmooze Club

The Kol Ami Schmooze Club, led by Madeleine Levy, plans fun activities (e.g., Jewish Jokes night), discussions about politics (e.g., Israel, Middle East, elections), religion (e.g., God, Nature, atheism), the arts (books, movies, plays).  The idea is to have fun, let our hair down and discuss topics that are otherwise taboo (politically) or too sensitive (religiously), or just plain interesting.

Seminar Series & Workshops

Ketuvim: Facilitated by Marcel Infeld, the Ketuvim class met monthly to discuss these books. The class ran until September 2016.
