Mah Jongg is back!

Fall 2026

Temple Emanu-El ~ 1 East 65th Street, NYC

Classes kick off on Tuesday, September 8th.

Time: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Experienced Mah Jongg instructor
Sharon Steinberg will be back as our teacher.

Sharon will teach an introduction to the game of Mah Jongg, a tile game like rummy, played by four people around a table. She will give a series of four lessons. Players will learn to identify tiles, how to set up the tiles they are dealt, and how to figure out what type of hand they are most likely to win.

By the end of the second session, players will be able to play the game with teacher supervision. Players will also learn beginning game strategies. By the end of the four lessons, players will be able to play independently.
