What is Derekh?
Derekh is Congregation Beth Shalom's adult programming department.
Derekh programs include many modes of engagement - Social, Arts, Justice, Torah, and Music. We see ourselves as an engine for innovation, experimenting with new programs, new ideas, and striving for creativity.
Derekh is a synagogue initiative that is highly directed by our members - we want our members to help envision the programs that would create community, spirituality, learning, and personal growth.
If you want to get involved in the planning and programming of Derekh activities, email our Derekh Director, Shari Woldenberg, at swoldenberg@bethshalompgh.org .
