The Midrasha Center for Adult
Jewish Learning will offer a va-
riety of adult Jewish learning
programs during the weeks be-
tween the holidays of Passover
and Shavuot, which is tradi-
tionally a period for structured

Classes are designed to ac-
commodate different schedules;
some are at lunchtime; many
are in the evening. All of the fol-
lowing classes and programs
will be held at Midrasha in the

ject will be "Pirkei Avot
