Adult Ed Committee Is Now the Lifelong Learning Committee

At the Annual Meeting, changes to the bylaws were approved. It was approved to change the name of the Adult Education Committtee to the Lifelong Learning Committee. The committee believes that the new name more clearly identifies our congregation's commitment to the value of lifelong learning, which is a basic tenet of Reform Judaism. They want to reinforce the idea that continued Jewish learning is not only for a certain segment of our congregation, and it is not something that ends with confirmation. It is something that sustains us and strengthens our identity as Jews and role models for our children to emulate. It was also approved to revise our congregation's mission statement to recognize lifelong learning as well.
