FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How do I register for adult learning programs?

A: You only need to register for fee-based programs. As you'll see, many of our classes are free. For these courses, just show up!

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).
