Adult Education
The learning never stops at Temple Adat Shalom! The goal of our Adult Education programs is to engage
adults of every age group and interest. Our purpose is to bring the congregation together to build
community while learning. We at Temple Adat Shalom have different histories, needs and points of
view. We offer a full range of topics on a variety of subjects, utilizing our congregants as well as outside
presenters.

AprApril 30 , 2023Wine & Chocolate Tasting with Rich Stern
Sunday, Apr 30th 3:00p to 5:00p
Chocolate and wine just don't mix, they flourish beautifully together when properly paired to bring out the best in both. If you know how to pair the right type of chocolate with the right type of wine, enhancing the flavors of both, the combination can be delightfully perfect. And if you think that nothing is more decadent than a fantastic chocolate dessert, or a lavish wine, we think you'll find that pairing chocolatey treats with a complimentary glass of wine can be a great sensory tasting experience.
