I find cama raderie, intellectual challenge and one Jewish pearl of wisdom after another. It’s the best adult learning I’ve ever experienced.” • “The course work is not only stimulating and enriching, but I am also building relationships with other Jews in the communi ty.” • “I have a deeper understand ing and appreciation for the reli gion that I hold so close to my heart, as I realize that there is so much more to learn.” • “I know what I believe as a Jew, and why.” ^ ^ Jewish Family Services ^ Hadassah supplied JFS with over five dozen meals on October 19.
