Each year's set of programs is generated and supported by the member volunteers in our Adult Education Committee, and reflects the varied interests and needs of our community. Here is a sampling of past and ongoing programs: Reconstructionist Roundtable, Friday Night Discussion Series, Jewish Alive and American, Siddur Speak, Beginning Hebrew Classes, Saturday Morning Torah Study and Exploration, and Spiritual Sunday.
The Reconstructionist Roundtable -- 2012-2013 dates coming soon!

Transformative Jewish Texts
Beit Tikvah won a grant (one of six congregations nationwide offered this grant!) from the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation. The grant, Transformative Jewish Texts, will cover the cost of sending a rabbinical scholar from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College to offer 10-12 hours of community education focused on the study of one Jewish text. The rabbinical scholar will work with congregational educators and our interim rabbi over the Spring and Fall of 2012 to prepare a series of community education classes that will be offered (free, of course!) to BT members in the Spring of 2013. A team from BT went to Philadelphia during February to begin the development of the program. During this weekend, the program scholars and education teams from the six congregations chose the text that will be studied: The Burning Bush, Exodus Chapter 3.
Camp JRF
Camp JRF fills the summer with fun, friendships, and Jewish living. The summer camp is a joyful, creative, and inclusive Reconstructionist community. Campers swim, play soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, and other sports. They sing and explore other arts. They learn from visiting artists, scholars, and rabbis, as well from talented specialists and dedicated college-age counselors. Our campers make lasting friendships, experience a safe and fun summer, explore Jewish tradition, forge their own Jewish identity, and participate in creating a Jewish culture in which our values are lived each day. Located on the Aaron and Marjorie Ziegelman Campus in the Pocono Mountains, the camp is within easy driving distance of Baltimore.

PJ on the Town 11/18/12
Thank you Beit Tikvah teachers, members and friends for collaborating with PJ Library Baltimore on “PJ on the Town.” It was a spectacular event! Children and parents got to see and touch Judaica from many ethnicities, hear Jewish stories, and make a beautiful chanukiyah out of tile, glass beads, and grommets, all in the exciting fire museum setting. Check out the photos on the PJ Library Baltimore Facebook page. They are great!
