All classes are open to the community. For most classes, advance registration is not required. On Shabbat, Jan. 8, Kolel Moshe invites adult learners to stay and learn after services with community educa- tor Barry Levine on "Parasha Preview" of the weekly Torah portions. This is a free, drop-in series. Each session begins at about 12:30 p.m. and runs for one hour. On Sunday, Jan. 16, Kolel Moshe and the Jewish Academy of Metropolitan Detroit will present the first in a three-part brunch-and-learn series featuring Eric Grossman and Daniella HarPaz Mechnikov titled, "Literature, Language, and Identity." Cost is $18 per session (including brunch and shiur) or $10 for the shiur alone. Reservations are a must for brunch, but not the shiur. Walk-ins are welcome for the study segment of the program. There is no charge for the shiur for JAMD students, other high-school students or college stu- dents, or for those holding Kolel Moshe Passports to Torah. There is a $8 charge for brunch, however. On Monday night, Jan. 24, Kolel Moshe will present a shiur by Eric Grossman at 8 p.m. in honor of Tu b'Shevat. For information, call Nancy Kaplan, (248) 737-1931.
