“Coffee & … Learn” is a group of people of all persuasions who come together to explore the ancient texts of our heritage, and the light they shed on the issues of our day.  It takes place at Congregation Or Shalom in Orange on Wednesday mornings, from 11am till noon, late fall to late spring. Every weekly gathering is a self-contained event: One need not attend an entire series to enjoy these classes.

Past topics have included:

  • “Ideas that Changed the World”
  • “Bible Stories Your Hebrew School Teachers Hoped You Wouldn't Notice”
  • “The Tower of Babel and Modern-day America”
  • “The Real David”
  • “Superman’s Biblical Roots”
  • “What Does the Bible Say about Extremism?”

Congregation Or Shalom is an egalitarian synagogue drawn to tradition while seeking to be true to who we are today. Many of our programs are appreciated by people from varied backgrounds.

And all are most welcome!
