Overview

Mission

To provide classes in the study of jewish religion, culture and history to students aged 8-12 who attend public school and wish to strengthen their knowledge with respect to their jewish heritage.

What it reported doing in 2024

Classes in jewish religion, culture and history were provided to students in grades 3-7 who attend public school and who wished to strengthen their knowledge with respect to their jewish heritage. Classes were taught in bible, jewish history, jewish holidays and hebrew reading. Each child was assigned a big brother/big sister to assist in teaching hebrew reading and language. The organization has special events in connection with jewish holidays that further teach the children about jewish rituals and create camaraderie among the participants. The organization also had a monthly club hour in which some children remain after school working on various craft projects. Approximately once a month after school, the organization sponsored communal outreach programs. The school closed in may 2024 and is winding up it's operations.
