4 YIOT DR. BERTRAM J. Z L & ANN NEWMAN ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM YOUNG ISRAEL OF TEANECK PERRY LANE, TEANECK, NJ

5 Once again, we are pleased to present our Adult Education brochure for the upcoming year. We have planned some unique and interesting events and we do hope you will take the opportunity to attend as many as you can. As always, we have tried to consider the diverse nature of our community, reflect on our past programs and listen to your feedback. Our goal is to offer a range of engaging programming that helps our members grow in their love of Judaism. We welcome your input on these and any future programs. Please contact Mark Glassberg at m.glass18@verizon.net, Rabbi Krohn, or any member of the committee. As most of you know, these programs are primarily funded by member sponsorships. As such, we ask that you select a program that most appeals to you and make a contribution earmarked toward that event or any general contribution. There is no budget line in the shul for these programs so every amount helps. We hope that each of our members will find something that is of interest to them and we look forward to having a year filled with enriching our minds and our souls. Regards, Beni Krohn Rabbi Mark Glassberg Chair, AEC Adult Education Committee: Rabbi Beni Krohn, Mark Glassberg, Dror Barber, Neil Greenspan, Daniel Lowe, Chana Stiefel, Devora Weinstein and Shlomo Yaros
