Adult Education
As the central address for Jewish education in the Greater Buffalo Jewish community, the Bureau of Jewish Education facilitates the coordination of adult education programs sponsored by synagogues and agencies in the community.

In addition to our renowned Florence Melton Adult Mini-School, We are able to bring together rabbis, cantors and educators from the community to offer a wide range of topics and learning opportunities. This area of our website will highlight those opportunities as they are offered.

The BJE co-sponsors an annual Rabbinic Kallah with the
Buffalo Board of Rabbis and the Jewish Community Center. Last year's theme was Great Periods in Jewish History and featured five area rabbis on a wide spectrum of historical time periods. This always-successful event usually takes place in the winter between January and February.

In addition, an adult beginning Yiddish class is being offered by Brocha Leah Greenberg on Wednesday nights at 6:30 pm. This course explores all aspects of Yiddish culture including
the language, the literature and music.

Courses for the year 2007-2008 will be announced this summer. If you have any questions or suggestions,
please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you.
