Welcome to the online home of the
Jewish Learning Experience.
This year marks the twenty-seventh anniversary
of the JLE's founding as a grassroots, independent adult outreach
organization in Bergen County, New Jersey. It's mission is to
reacquaint Jewish adults with their religious heritage through classes
demonstrating the relevance of the Torah in contemporary times,
experiential programs, and Shabbat and High Holiday explanatory
services. The JLE caters to individual needs, including home
hospitality and one-on-one learning.
Regardless of your background, you can become part of a dynamic
learning group. Knowledge of Hebrew
or of the Bible is not
necessary.
Since its inception, the JLE has touched
the lives of more than 5,000 unaffiliated families in Bergen County and
beyond.
There is no vacation from Torah study & spiritual
growth. The JLE
is proud to present
another action-packed month of events & programs. Please take
advantage of all the wonderful learning opportunities that the JLE offers!.
Challenge yourself, Empower yourself,
Enrich yourself.
All classes are
FREE of charge.
As an independent, unaffiliated
organization, we depend on the support of the community to continue
providing free, excellent programming to the broader Jewish community.

Shabbos/Sunday
The JLE
educational prayer service will be conducted on a roughly biweekly
basis, alternating between Saturday and Sunday mornings.
As
always, we will aim to recite and sing prayers, and have discussion and
commentary, which will aim to be spiritually inspiring, emotionally
uplifting and intellectually stimulating. Some prayers will be recited
in English, while others will be sung in Hebrew with transliteration. We
will reinforce what participants have learned together thus far, while
welcoming new participants in this true "Jewish learning experience."
Come join us! (Led by Zvi Weissler)
