One of the most important messages that Ma’ayanot strives to instill over the course of four years of high school is that learning, and especially talmud Torah, extends beyond the formal classroom and is for life. This message is powerfully reinforced as our students take note of Ma’ayanot parents, former parents, and even those not otherwise associated with Ma’ayanot, who choose to take advantage of the myriad adult education opportunities offered throughout the year by our distinguished faculty members.

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, we are unable to offer adult education courses and programming at this time. We invite you to utilize our extensive video library below that contains many of the shiurim offered in the past through our Adult Education programs.
