We are a community of learners. We believe that through Jewish study we are able to honor our past, wrestle with issues of the present, and help to ensure our future by passing along a tradition of living and learning to our children. We believe that there is an opportunity to learn something new every time we gather together. We believe that learning from one another is as important as learning from our Rabbis and Cantor. We believe that there are Seven Foundations of Jewish Learning in which every Jew should be knowledgeable. These areas include: 

• Jewish Texts
• Jewish Ethics and Values
• Holidays and Life Cycle Events
• Jewish History
• Israel
• Jewish Culture
• Prayer and Hebrew

Each year our Lifelong Learning Committee coordinates a variety of classes, lectures, and discussions to deepen our understanding of these Foundation areas. To make suggestions for classes or begin your journey of Jewish learning, contact Rabbi Andrea Goldstein at agoldstein@shaare-emeth.org or by phone at 314-569-0010.
