Adult Education at Temple Emeth

Temple Emeth’s Adult Education program offers an abundance of opportunities to give our hearts to learning.

There is no charge for Temple Emeth members for any of our programs (except those that provide meals, or are trips). Some courses may require books and/or other materials, for which there may be a charge. There is a fee for non-members of Temple Emeth, based on the specific program, plus book or material costs. For more information, contact the Temple office at 201-833-1322 for an Adult Education folder and registration application form. Please contact Temple Emeth for further information or use the registration form at the end of this page (coming soon).
