Shearith Israel’s post-B’nai Mitzvah class, MASA, which means “journey” in Hebrew, helps each student develop a personal relationship with the Jewish tradition through interactive learning, student-driven discussions, and timely, relevant topics. Our class this year will explore our own local Jewish community. We'll visit various agencies and organizations, and explore the different denominations of Judaism through visits and discussions with local Rabbis. 

Classes will include sessions/discussions with Rabbi Kaiman, Nancy Gorod, or a guest speaker, and the group will enjoy a class trip in March 2020 to New York City explore the beginnings of the greater Jewish Community in America. 

All classes will be held at 3:30pm on Sundays at Shearith Israel, unless otherwise noted. Please note: Dates are subject to change.

Please note: MASA's Sunday, March 29, 2020 session will take place at 3:30pm via Zoom at this link!
