Adult Programs

We are pleased to offer a variety of adult programs specifically designed to perk an adult's interest and to enrich our community involvement while fostering our Jewish friendships.

Adult B'Nai Mitzvah Class

After much discussion and a favorable response from several members, we are pleased to announce the
introduction of an adult B'Nai Mitzvah class. We will be using a format provided by the NJOP (National Jewish Outreach Program). Classes will be offered in a supportive and fun manner with a tentative completion time of 12-18 months.
If you're curious to hear what it's all about before signing up, come to our first meeting on Sunday, May 4 at noon at the Pathways Montessori School, 133 Illinois Street, Crystal Lake. Questions? Call 815-334-7110.
