Lifecycles

with Wendy Strauss

So far this year with Wendy, students have learned about Jewish rituals surrounding birth/naming, consecration, and b'nei mizvah

Every week with our shinshinit Noy, students get to learn about Israel!

Parashat Ha Shavua

with Irit Hadari

With Irit, students dive into each week's Torah portion and create some sort of project to depict their learning.

In T'filah with Cantor Kleinman and Rabbi Baken, students have an opportunity to learn the keva (fixed structure) of the service and also infuse their own leadership in moments like Mi Shebeirach l'Cholim (a prayer of healing for the sick).

5th Graders engage with Jewish music traditions in the sanctuary every week with Cantor Sonett-Assor. The songs we learn are connected to holidays and contemporary Israeli themes. We recently learned about the upcoming holiday of Tu B'Shevat through the lens of Pete Seeger's Garden Song.

During Chevruta sessions that continue to meet each week, 5th Graders are making their way through Shalom U'vracha at their own pace. As a result of their progress, students were able to proudly read the Chanukah blessings. As students progress in the primer, they recognize familiar words from T'filah, holidays and modern Hebrew.
