Adult education
Innovative, interesting and challenging
Shir Hadash develops adult education programs based on membership surveys and
on an eye and ear for topics that few others are exploring.
The programs have ranged from classroom-style seminars and field trips to
group in-home video viewings followed a couple of weeks later by an overall
discussion session led by a doctoral candidate in film studies at UW-Madison.
