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-7 meet weekly on Sundays 9:30 am to noon. On a typical Sunday we have two sessions – Hebrew and Judaics. Between those two sessions, the entire school meets at the chapel for a snack 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* Tuesdays
Students in grade 5-7 are encouraged to sign up for our Tuesday class. The class meets weekly from 4:00-5:30 pm and is taught by our Darshan, Dr. Phil Weiss. In this class, students learn to lead the Torah service, and other skills they need to become part of the prayer life of the community as B’nai Mitzvah.
* B’nai – Heb. Children of; plural of Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
It is possible to sign up for Tuesday class, without registering for the Sunday program, but it is not recommended.
B’nai Mitzvah Tuesdays do not usually replace private tutoring in preparation for Bar/Bat Mitzvah but rather complement pre-Bar/Bat Mitzvah tutoring.
