Our adult members meet once a month to engage in a lively discussion around a variety of informative topics of interest to Jews and Humanists. Recent subjects have included networking within the Humanist community, discovering the role of the Jews in the arts, Creationism and preserving the memory of the Holocaust. In addition, some members also participate in a book club.
Adult programs and book club meetings take place from 9:30 to 11:30 am on certain Sundays in Randolph, NJ. They begin with half an hour of socializing over fresh coffee and bagels followed by a presentation, often by an expert guest speaker, and a discussion. Members of the community are welcome to attend. A complete listing of our upcoming adult programs are listed in our Calendar.
