Adult Education

Torah Classes

Jewish learning isn't just for the classroom. It's for curious minds, busy people, and anyone who has ever wondered what Judaism actually says about the big questions in life.

Relationships, purpose, suffering, joy, the afterlife, and everything in between.

At Chabad of Surrey, we offer a range of adult education programmes throughout the year. Our JLI (Rohr Jewish Learning Institute) courses bring world-class curriculum to our community, covering topics like the art of conflict resolution, the mysteries of Kabbalah, and what Judaism says about the soul and the afterlife. These multi-week courses are designed for people of all backgrounds — no prior knowledge required.

We also run our own classes and courses on Sunday evenings throughout the year, exploring Jewish philosophy, history, Torah, and practical Jewish living. Whether you're coming back to Judaism after years away, or simply curious to learn more, there's a place for you here. Email us at rabbi@chabadsurrey.com to find out what's coming up.

Judaism Unpacked: Sundays at 7pm

Judaism Unpacked is our weekly class for adults who want to understand Judaism, not just read about it. Each Sunday evening we take one big idea, open it up and ask what it means for life today.

The class runs on Sundays from 7 to 8pm in West Byfleet. It's free, with an optional donation, and there's no need to have been to a class before. Come to one session or come every week.

The Journey of The Soul

Six Sundays, 7:00–8:30 PM, 15 February to 22 March. Instructor: Rabbi Yossi Moscowitz. In person at Chabad of Surrey and on Zoom.

Who hasn't wondered what happens when we die? We know what happens to the body. But what happens to the soul at birth and again at death? At once practical and powerful, reflective and relatable, Journey of the Soul teaches a Jewish perspective on life that begins before birth and lasts well after a person's passing.
