OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE ON THE ADULT EDUCATION COMMITTEE Adult education is looking for current college students, who would like to participate in or chair a panel on being a Jewish student on a college campus.  This program will take place on Jan. 13, 2008, when many colleges will still be on winter break.  It will be open to all, but will be especially geared toward students in college and high school and their families.  If you are interested in the above, please contact Susan Weiss at (708) 524-8908 or susanw8957@aol.com.

On April 13 at 12:30, there will be a viewing of "The Forgotten Refugees", followed by a discussion led by Marcel Theboul a survivor of the experience.

This documentary recounts story of exiled Jews from Arab lands A film by the David Project
With the founding of Israel in 1948, many problems facing world Jewry receded. But for Jews living in Arab lands, the problems were just beginning. Across North Africa and the Middle East, more than a million Jews, already living as second-class citizens in hostile nations, were driven into exile after 1948, their property confiscated, their futures uncertain. Please join us at 12:30 on April 13 for this special presentation.

Torah Study

There are four Torah Study groups meeting on Sunday mornings at OPT. All accept new members at any time; prior notice is not required. Three of the groups are in English and demand no knowledge of Hebrew. The fourth is in Hebrew with English translation and discussion, and requires some knowledge of Hebrew. In addition to Torah Study, several other small study groups are available to Oak Park Temple members. If none of these meets your needs, we encourage starting your own study group. We'll be happy to help you get started if we can.

Adult Hebrew

Our adult Hebrew program is in the works now.

And More…………

Oak Park Temple members are exceptionally talented at forming and maintaining small study groups on a variety of topics. There are two Jewish book groups, Talmud study groups and others. If you would like to join an existing group or form a new one, let us know.

If you happen to have an idle Sunday morning at the Temple, look for the “Torah trivia” game.
