Adults

The Adult Department of the Central Agency for Jewish Education was designed with a commitment to Jewish studies and to the St. Louis Jewish community.

We are committed to:

1. Education across denominational lines with an inclusive, yet pluralistic ideology.
2. Serving the Jewish educational needs of the entire adult community.
3. Providing a variety of courses based on student request.
4. The use of Jewish texts as the tool in guiding us in providing the education.
5. Hearing your voice in the course of the classroom discussions.
6. We welcome all adults who would like to study with their peers in a pluralistic user-friendly, intellectually stimulating atmosphere. The course topics range from Talmud, Bible, and Jewish Literature and history to Yiddish, Biblical Hebrew and Conversational Hebrew.

Our focal point is the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School where adults study text-based curricula provided by the Hebrew University.
