Our Programs
Nitzanim
Nitzanim is our program for 4-year-olds. Nitzanim meet monthly from 9:30-10:30 am. The program is designed to share the fun of Sunday school with those of us too young to be in our K-7 program.
Sunday school
Grades K-5 meet weekly on Sundays 9:30 am to noon.
Grades 6-7 meet twice a week, Sundays 9:30 am to noon
and Wednesday 4:00 – 5:45 pm.
On a typical Sunday we have two sessions – Hebrew and Judaica. Between those
two sessions, the entire school meets at the chapel for snack, a short recess,
and music time. We learn new songs from prayers, and Jewish camp music in Hebrew
and English. Sometimes, we learn Israeli dancing or do a drama workshop. At
11:45 am following the second session, we meet at the chapel again, this time
with parents for the end of the day community prayer, tefillah, led by the
school children.
B’nai Mitzvah* Wednesdays
Wednesday classes are meant to allow students more focused learning as they near their bar/bat mitzvah. The Wednesday afternoon class is taught by our education director and rabbi, Eliana Jacobowitz. Classes focus on learning the Shabbat morning liturgy, and on forming our personal sense of Jewish identity.
Our Wednesday program does not replace private tutoring in preparation for Bar/Bat Mitzvah but rather complements it.
* B’nai – Heb. Children of; plural of Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
