Congregation Torat El Adult Education series

We all have our reasons for being members of our Congregation.  Thankfully, we have many activities offered to fulfill the purpose(s) of our membership.  The Adult Education Committee would like to expand on these activities.   Should you wish to share and/or discuss this with a member of the Committee, please leave a message at the Synagogue office (732-531-4410), email marvin.goldin@gmail.com or Maxine Boff ( max7478@aol.com ). It would be a pleasure to hear from you.
