Adult Jewish Learning
Jewish learning for people who like to think.
Some classes answer questions. The best ones leave you with better questions. Our adult learning programs bring serious Jewish ideas into the room in a clear, lively, and down-to-earth way.
Come for a weekly class, a focused JLI course, or a Rosh Chodesh evening. You do not need to prepare, read Hebrew, or already know the answers.
Learning throughout the year
Start with the class that suits you.
Drop into the weekly class or join one of our seasonal learning programs.
Tuesdays at 7:30 PM
Weekly Torah Class
Each Tuesday we open the weekly Torah portion and talk about what it says, what it asks, and where it meets ordinary life. The class is relaxed, text-based, and open to everyone. Coffee, tea, and cake are usually on the table.
In person in Coquitlam

JLI 5787  |  2026–2027
Three courses. Three very different conversations.
JLI courses meet for a limited series and include clear source material, printed student books, and plenty of room for discussion.
Kabbalah and the Hidden Architecture of You
Fall  •  Six sessions
Kabbalah and the Hidden Architecture of You
Why do names matter? What do dreams mean? How does Kabbalah understand soulmates, reincarnation, and the shape of a human life? Six sessions that give these subjects a coherent framework.
JLI course window: October 25 to November 29
The Missing Piece
Winter  •  Six sessions
The Missing Piece
Israel is discussed constantly, but its place in Judaism is rarely explained from the beginning. This course starts there and builds the larger picture from Torah sources.
JLI course window: January 24 to February 28
Chew on This
Spring  •  Four sessions
Chew on This
Kosher law, Jewish food history, and what eating has to do with the soul. Four sessions, with plenty to learn and plenty to talk about.
JLI course window: May 16 to June 6
Local JLI details
Class nights, tuition, and registration will be posted before each course.

Come as you are
No previous background. No need to read Hebrew. No one gets put on the spot.
The goal is not to impress anyone. It is to learn something real, ask the questions you actually have, and leave with an idea worth thinking about.
