Temple Beth Tikvah in Greenacres has created That’s the Spirit, an invigorating program of courses, holiday experiences, and cinema entertainment. The mission is to provide an environment where each attendee connects with Jewish opportunities that lead to a fulfilling secular and spiritual life. All events are open to the public.
It’s All about Me is a unique approach of relating the weekly parsha to everyday modern challenges and unseen opportunities. Educator Andy Greenberg describes the course as the exploration of the totally revised 2026 Torah that uses every word of the original text, interpreted by the class as they experience every story and thought that represents modern issues in the secular world. Each interactive discussion will reveal text messages for today’s complex life. Classes will be held Tuesdays at 1 p.m., January 13, 20, 27, and February 3.
The Mussar tradition is a guide for spiritual development that fosters awareness, wisdom, and personal transformation. Instructor Helen Shub will guide participants on a journey of self-improvement and becoming a more ethical person. The journey will begin on Tuesday, March 10, and continue March 17, 24, and 31.
