The LJLC is the educational arm of the LJCC. Under its auspices come most LJCC activities that focus on learning, except for our Religious School. LJLC programs are open to the entire Lawrence Jewish Community. The LJLC offers adult education, family education, a preschool playgroup, and interfaith activities.

Adult Education
Adult education focuses on what Judaism has to say about current issues and events, our religious texts, and the history of our culture and literature. We have guest speakers and lively discussions. The LJCC cosponsors lectures and events with other groups including KU's Jewish Studies program, KU Hillel, Jewish Community Women, Temple Beth Sholom in Topeka, and other Lawrence and Kansas City organizations.

Family Education
No education for a child is as powerful as the opportunity to learn alongside his or her parents. Around the country, many congregations are offering more family education, since the family can talk about important religious issues together and grow religiously as a unit. The LJLC will offer several opportunities for families to study together. These will be fun, interactive learning times for everyone. Family Education is made possible with a grant through the Flo Harris Foundation.

Cooperative Preschool Playgroup
Our mission is to develop a family oriented cooperative preschool playgroup to support families in crafting a positive Jewish identity for their children and to foster connections among Jewish families in the Lawrence area. The Playgroup is for Jewish and interfaith families with children ages birth to five. You do not have to be a member of the Congregation to join. The Jewish Community Women gave a grant to support the development of the playgroup.

Interfaith Activities
In our diverse LJCC community, we have many interfaith families or individuals considering conversion (or recently converted). We offer specific programming to address the needs and issues many interfaith families or individuals joining Judaism face.
