The success of the program hinges on the dedication of the Adult Education committee, which has grown from a small committee to a large one of exceptional volunteers, including Golda Dockser, who is the 5765 recipient of the Bureau of Jewish Education (BJE) Keter Torah Award for her work on the Ivrit la-Kol Hebrew Literacy program, and Terri Swarz Russell, who is the Family Educator at a different Conservative synagogue and a past recipient of the BJE Keter Torah Award. Linna Ettinger organizes the committee, plans courses, contacts instructors, writes and designs the Adult Education brochure. Sylvia Schatz has been a member of the Adult Education Committee for the longest period of time, providing our committee with valuable insight and historical background. Other members have been on board for several years, providing stability to the committee, while others, who are new provide energy and renewed commitment to life-long Jewish learning. Each member of the Adult Education Committee and the subcommittees are vital members and are a critical component of the success of the Adult Education Program. If you have any questions at all about any of our programs, please contact an Adult Education Committee member and we will be happy to assist you.
