In the classroom, we encourage the development of friendships, which creates a strong feeling of Jewish community. Students absorb more content information at this stage, and demonstrate it through theater, art, discussion and action. When learning about heroes, we encourage them to become Jewish heroes themselves.
The “Hebrew Pod” program is introduced through decoding and listening comprehension skill building to teach Hebrew reading and prayer. Students progress at their own pace.
First Period : OVERVIEW OF JEWISH HISTORY
Students consider how their lives compare with the lives of those who came before them, how Judaism has evolved in every generation, and how it is their responsibility to carry Jewish tradition forward.
Second Period : HEBREW
Third Period : JEWISH HEROES – ETHICAL VALUES IN ACTION
The Bar/Bat Mitzvah Journey is the beginning of Jewish responsibility, and students prepare to be the next link in our Jewish chain. Inspired by stories of Jewish Heroes in sports, science, film, and politics, they will see Jewish values at work.
