RABBI KESSLER’S MONTHLY BOOK REVIEW

Rabbi Kessler's monthly book review is open to all adult members of our synagogue.  We will meet once every month for an hour, on a Sunday when we don't have our PEP class.  Each month, a different novel written by a Jewish author, or pertaining to a Jewish subject, will be reviewed and discussed.  There is no charge for attending.  We suggest that our students purchase the novels and read them before our monthly discussion.

LUNCH & LEARN

On the 2^nd Wednesday of every month, (October through March), Rabbi Kessler teaches a noon-time class called LUNCH & LEARN. The class is taught in a very informal way - participants come to Sisterhood Hall at 12 noon with their lunch (we supply the beverage) and an hour of study follows. No need to RSVP...just drop in!

For more information, contact Rabbi Kessler at rabbi@ohevsholom.org.

HERSHEY ADULT EDUCATION CLASS

Do you live in the Hershey-Hummelstown area? We appreciate the fact that you “drive-in” to Harrisburg to be a part of our temple family.  To honor your commitment to Ohev Sholom, Rabbi Kessler comes to Hershey every month on a Thursday evening to teach a cozy and relaxed study session.

Hershey Study is the monthly opportunity for adult study for our members who live in the Hershey-Hummelstown area.  Once a month, Rabbi Kessler teaches a class at the home of a congregant in the Hershey-Hummelstown community.  Hershey Study is open to all adult members of our synagogue, including High School students.  The classes meet once every month for an hour or so, and are a chance to learn more about a particular Jewish subject, as well as have an opportunity to join together with other adults for study.  There is no charge for Hershey Study.

This year's curriculum is entitled "Walking the Bible".  Each month, we will learn more about the Five Books of Moses through a study of Bruce Feiler's book, Walking the Bible.  Those who register for the class are asked to purchase a copy of this book ($11 per copy) by contacting the Temple office.

For more information about Hershey Study, contact Rabbi Kessler at rabbi@ohevsholom.org.

PEP

PEP is our Parallel Education Program! We meet once-a-month on Sunday mornings for bagels & coffee, and an hour of study and discussion. This year's curriculum is entitled "The Book of Jewish Values", a day by day guide to ethical living.

Each month, we will participate in a text study taken from The Book of Jewish Values by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin.  The book provides a day by day guide to ethical living utilizing a different discussion for the 365 days in the year.

If possible, we ask that those who register for the class purchase a copy of The Book of Jewish Values. The book is available at the temple office at a reduced cost of $25. For those who do not purchase a copy, a hand-out will be provided.
