In the next rotation, the majority of 6th Graders will be exploring a Holocaust related curriculum developed in partnership with Facing History & Ourselves.
7th Graders will be in one of three rotations based on when they are celebrating BMitzvah: either D'var Torah Workshop, Lo Ta'amod II or Trope.
