Learning

The ancient rabbis teach us that "the study of Torah (Jewish knowledge) is equal to all the commandments, because our study leads us to doing them." At the Isaac M. Wise Temple, the commandment to study Torah is a religious mandate that we approach both seriously AND joyously. Whether for our children, our teenagers, or adults, we are committed to the principle of lifelong Jewish learning as the best way of applying the values of Judaism to our own lives. Our learning is not only about the knowledge that we gain, but also to be imbued with an understanding that guides us in our deeds. We grow as people through the insights we gain in study, and the fruit of that study become apparent in our actions.

Wise Temple's award-winning Religious School for children ages 4-18, as well as its expansive program of adult learning, Eitz Chayim Adult Education, provides the structure and the opportunities for serious and joyous study of Judaism. Our study of Torah seeks to enlighten, to stimulate, and to challenge our thought, while also being relevant to our daily lives. Our study enables us to think and to act in larger and deeper ways.

Whether you have a good background in Jewish knowledge and texts or you are jumping into the "waters of Torah" for the first time, there is a place for you and your personal Jewish enrichment in the study of Torah at Wise Temple. Our classes, programs and discussions are accessible, warm, and inviting. They are meant for you. And you'll leave not only enriched with insight, but also spiritually nourished with a Jewish tradition that can deepen and enrich your daily life.
