Adult Engagement Celebrates Rabbi Shmuel Afek!

This past May, some of our adult learners had the chance to honor Rabbi Shmuel Afek, one of our longtime teachers, who is retiring after 15 years as a member of the PAS faculty. On the eve of his final class, a group of current and previous students came together to wish Rabbi Afek well as he embarks on his next journey.

He has taught scores of students over the years, as a teacher of our Melton Core program, as well as for more than 20 other courses with topics including study of Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah, Judaism and Islam, a history of Hasidism, and most recently, an exploration of the thoughts and writing of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks.

Rabbi Afek’s Wednesday night classes have been a staple of our Adult Learning program for more than a decade, and he has a following of devoted students who have learned with him semester after semester. His thoughtful approach to the study of Jewish text and its application to everyday life has impacted many of our learners, and Rabbi Afek’s torah has been a gift to our school.
