Wendy Graff, Rabbi Jane Litman, Aimee Golant, Marcia Falk, Julie Seltzer, Laurel Robinson, and others will be speaking about the Torah and on a variety of other topics. The Torah will be present at Shabbat services in Cotati, Palo Alto, and Lafayette, and for Rosh Chodesh in Berkeley.

Classes for adults!
Free for Kadima members

Learn to read the (Kadima) prayer book! Learn to confidently decode the Hebrew alef-bet (alphabet): consonants and vowels. Why should the kids be the ones to decipher this secret code, and have all the fun, too!?!
Suzie Hellerstein, teacher: Suzie is a Kadima board member, and has nine years of K-8 teaching experience, as well as experience in adult education instruction and teacher training. She learned to read Hebrew as an adult, so understands the unique challenges.
The first session will be held at Suzie's home. Suzie would like to meet in students' homes thereafter. Class locations and the schedule will be determined at the first class.
*March 22 is a tentative date that can be changed to a date that works for everyone (excluding certain Mondays and the second Tuesday of each month). The class will meet weekly for six consecutive weeks.
