Each year a congregational learning theme unites our congregation. The theme serves to focus the learning of the congregation around an important and timely concept. The theme is evident in:

• The adult education courses offered during the year
• Speakers (including scholars-in-residence) who are brought in to lead presentations and workshops
• The content of High Holy Day sermons
• Reflections during worship services
• An historic Jewish teacher is chosen as our scholar for the year and teachings are infused into worship experiences, learning opportunities for adults and classes for youth
• Board meeting and committee meeting divrei torah
• An issue of the bulletin focuses directly on the theme
• Partnerships with organizations in the community to best explore the theme
