B’nai Mitzvah Program

Grades 5-7
Tuesdays 4:00pm – 5:30pm
Classes begin October

The B’nai Mitzvah program is committed to making your child’s journey toward Jewish adulthood an exciting and memorable experience. Each student receives personalized instruction and attention as they learn to lead Shabbat Prayers, develop their Hebrew reading/comprehension skills, explore the observance of mitzvot and discover what it means to become a Jewish adult in the 21st century. Meaningful connections with teachers and peers will help instill in them a sense of ownership and pride in the Jewish tradition they are inheriting.

Grades will be physically separated in the building and masks will be required at all times during the program.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to Beth Tzedec as your family continues its journey on the road to one of the great milestones in Jewish life.

Shul School

Jewish Education for Children (Ages 4-10 or JK-Grade 4)
Sundays 10:00am – 12noon
Classes begin October

Shul’s cool at Shul School where kids enjoy music, arts and crafts and much more! Infuse your home and community with a love of Judaism. Your child will learn: prayer and blessings, bible stories, holidays, mitzvot, Jewish ethics, Hebrew and broaden their Jewish experience.

We are pleased to welcome back this year Morah Alexis and Moreh Sam. Both of them will be working together to provide programing and Hebrew instruction tailored to both our younger and older students so that our families can get the most out of the Shul School experience. In addition, there will be monthly optional opportunities for our Shul School families to learn together and socialize at our newly instituted “Schmooze School.”

Classes will be in-person and will follow the current AHS guidelines.
