Q: Do I have to be a member to participate?

A: Almost all of our adult learning is open to the entire community (much of it free of charge). Other courses have slightly different fees for members and non-members. A few of our programs are open only to Beth Am members (Toledot, Shabbaton, the Chavruta Project, and Tzavta).
