Programs

The Santa Monica Synagogue offers many opportunities through which our adult members build community and friendships.  Here are just some of our activities and events:

Adult Education:  Our rabbi offers classes and lectures throughout the year on various topics, such as Torah, Beginning Hebrew, Bio-ethics, History, and Jewish Culture.

L’chayim Wine Club meets every other month to enjoy cheese and crackers and sample wines from around the world.

Book-Of-The-Every-Other-Month Club meets to discuss a recent work of literature.

Movie Mavens gathers to view and discuss Jewish and Israeli movies. 

Chavurot:  Many members belong to smaller groups within the congregation.  Chavurot get together for dinners, plays, movies, discussions, and other social activities.

Progressive Dinner:  Every fall, we enjoy a social evening together as we visit the homes of fellow congregants for appetizers, salads, entrees, and dessert. 

Game Night in January is a fun-filled evening of Scrabble, board games, and cards.

B’Yadeinu (In Our Hands) coordinates synagogue outreach activities, such as cooking for Turning Point Shelter,  Jewish/Moslem dialogue, and social justice issues.
