Rising Rams Reception 🎉
We hosted our exciting Rising Rams Reception yesterday, where admitted students and their families had the chance to connect with faculty, current Kehillah students, and families. Thank you to all our faculty, current students, and families for making the event so welcoming and meaningful! Your engagement and support helped create a warm and inclusive environment for our potential new Rams. It was a wonderful opportunity for them to learn more about life at Kehillah and the supportive community they’ll soon be a part of.

✍️ New Peer Tutoring Program Launches This Week!
Sponsored by The Kehillah Student Grant Council, this semester, we are piloting a new peer tutoring program aimed at providing students with academic support outside of class while offering tutors the chance to reinforce their understanding of the material and develop valuable leadership skills. Peer tutors will earn volunteer hours for their time spent tutoring. Being tutored is a great way to deepen your understanding of subjects and build connections with fellow students.
Students interested in tutoring can fill out the form below, and they will be matched with a peer tutor. Once matched, both parties will coordinate directly to arrange tutoring sessions. Please note that the forms are only accessible with your Kehillah account.

Kehillah families are invited to join therapists from Jewish Family and Children’s Services (JFCS) and our School Counselor Sarah Lesser for an insightful session on the New Authority Approach, based on Nonviolent Resistance (NVR). This approach offers parents practical tools for setting clear boundaries while strengthening connection and trust with their children.
