Due to a shift in class sizes, we have restructured our classes for this year. Please find a few details about each class below!
Gan – Pre-K and K
Teacher: Ms. Kedma (Christie Fine)
Gan is an age appropriate, developmental introduction to our Hebrew School. The children of Gan will experience Judaism through their five senses, forming lasting friendships and making personal connection through music, art, Torah stories and an introduction to the Hebrew Aleph-Bet.
(This class meets twice a month.)
Chaverim – Grades 1, 2 & 3
Teacher: Rachel Sadowitz
Our Chaverim program lays the foundation for Jewish education by providing a variety of experience in Jewish observance. Through hands-on learning, students will be introduced to Shabbat and holidays. One aim of our Chaverim program is to provide opportunities for developing basic Hebrew decoding skills with a high level of success.
Chalutzim – Grades 4 & 5
Teacher: Rebecca Sadowitz
In Chalutzim, students will be endeavoring deeper into Hebrew, Tefillah, God, and Judaic studies. They can look forward to exploring the narrative, values, and lessons of the Torah through experiential learning.
Kochavim – Grades 6 & 7
Teacher: David Fairchild
Kochavim is the class that takes our students through B’nai Mitzvah. Not only is Hebrew reading and Tefillah emphasized, but prayer leadership is developed in these years. Delving deeper into finding spirituality and meaning in all things, holiday, history and everyday life is a part of Kochavim. Our students will experience Jewish lifecycle events as well as the more recent history of Jewish people.
Bagrut - Grades 8, 9 & 10
Teacher: Jason Cathcart, Noa Hadad (Community Shalicha)
Beginning in 8th grade, Bagrut empowers students to journey along pathways to areas of Judaic thought previously unencountered in their studies. The Bagrut class will take what they have learned thus far and bring it forward into their adolescence. Our community shalicha teachers this class to expand the Israel curriculum of our school.
(This class meets twice a month.)
Confirmation - Grades 11 & 12
Teacher: Rabbi Tendler, Noa Hadad (Community Shalicha)
Confirmation encourages students to develop a meaningful relationship with their “personal Judaism” while they are in high school and before they go off to college. Confirmation teaches us that we are inextricably intertwined with other Jews and will always remain a part of our people.
(This class meets twice a month.)
Should you have any questions about our classes this year, please contact Jason Cathcart.
