Welcome to the online home of the Jewish Learning Experience. The JLE this year celebrates its twenty-third anniversary as a unique, independent outreach and education organization in Bergen County New Jersey dedicated to reacquainting Jewish adults with their religious heritage.

The JLE provides an array of classes, educational & experiential programs and explanatory services related to Shabbat and holidays in a warm, non-threatening environment in which questions are encouraged. Regardless of your background, you can become part of a dynamic learning group. Knowledge of Hebrew or of the Bible is not necessary.

We can also offer programming tailored to individual needs, including home hospitality and One-on-One Learning!

There is no vacation from Torah study & spiritual growth. The JLE is proud to present another action-packed month of events & programs. Please take advantage of all the wonderful learning opportunities that the JLE offers!. See Calendar for details.

Challenge yourself, Empower yourself, Enrich yourself.

All classes are FREE of charge.

As an independent, unaffiliated organization, we depend on the support of the community to continue providing free, excellent programming to the broader Jewish community.
