One of the most important traditions of Judaism is a dedication to lifelong learning. At TBS, we support this tradition through a variety of learning opportunities for Jews of all ages. We strive to encourage interesting educational programs that are not only thought provoking, but fun and engaging.
The Community Education Committee develops and coordinates educational programming for adults and youth, creating opportunities for intellectual growth, skill development, and community engagement beyond our religious curriculum.
2026-27 Community Education Committee events
CEC events are scheduled on the third Sunday of every month from 1pm-2:30pm fall through spring (with a possible break near the High Holidays depending on when they fall). All events will take place at TBS unless otherwise noted. Look here for upcoming events which will be posted as they are confirmed.

American Jewish Comedy
Professors often wonder how to keep students engaged at the end of the semester, when they’re already busy working on their final research papers. In Ellen Eisenberg’s American Jewish History class, this was never a problem. Sometime in the 1990s, she stumbled upon the idea of presenting a history of American Jewish comedy on the last day. Soon it became an expectation, with some students asking her about it on the first day. Now’s your chance to experience what those students waited for all semester– without the required reading, papers, or grades!
