Adult Engagement

Engage your heart, mind, and spirit at Central Synagogue.

Central’s Adult Engagement team aims to deepen our members’ connections to one another, to our community, and to the ongoing story of the Jewish people through our classes, special events, small groups, volunteer opportunities, and our other diverse programs. We invite you to explore what we offer and to partner with us on a journey of discovery and transformation.
