Adult Education and Lifelong Learning
The Yad Mordecai Adult Education Project
The Yad Mordecai Project was established to express and embody our congregational commitment to
universal adult study of Jewish sources, history and cultural expression in its many forms.
Through Yad Mordecai, we pursue our vision of a congregation as literate and well-educated in
Jewish terms as it is in secular terms. The project has been funded by a grant from West End
Synagogue founding members Dorothy and Sidney Becker.

educational and cultural programs and events.

enriching the communal life of the congregation, and complementing school programs for parents.

Jewish living and promote Reconstructionism.
