Adult and Youth Education


Our educational goals for both youth and adults are to:

foster an identification with the Jewish people.

promote the development of a philosophy of life and an understanding of personal values and ethics from a Jewish Humanist perspective.

present a body of knowledge which includes Jewish holidays, history, heroes, literature, culture, art and music.

- What Do We Teach Our Children?

At Adat Chaverim, we want our children to understand the beliefs and behavior of their forebears. We want our children to learn the real history of a real people. -We want our children to develop their own convictions honestly on the basis of knowledge. -Most importantly, we want our children to be equipped with a philosophy of life that will serve them now and in the future.

Therefore, we teach from the entire range of Jewish experience, both past and present. -This includes literature, personalities, events and culture, so that our children will achieve an accurate understanding of their identity as Jews and as Humanists.

We also need to teach our children the skills that promote dignity and happiness. -These skills-- self-reliance, cooperation, generosity and rationality-- are as important as academic skills and are nurtured through our Humanistic Jewish education program.
