Nosh and Drash, a “course-in-a-box” prepared by the Jewish Theological Seminary, held its last class of the semester at Temple Emanuel of the Pascack Valley in Woodcliff Lake. This year’s course was “The Ethical Life;” and several area Conservative shuls used the material. The course uses printed texts, online video talks, and classroom discussions, moderated by a professional teacher. Rabbi Shelley Kniaz led the TEPV program. A new semester will start after the High Holy Days. Call (201) 391-0801.
