6th
Teacher: Genia Ruzer
The sixth graders meet once during the week and one session on Sunday. The Judaic curriculum is divided into two semesters. The first semester focuses on Jewish life cycle events and Jewish values exemplified by historic “Jewish heroes”. During the second semester the students will be investigating a family hero. The “historical heroes” project will culminate in our Heroes Café on April 13. The family heroes project will culminate in a “Family Reunion” on May 14th. Students will present stories, recipes, artifacts, and pictures that tell the narrative of their family hero.
Hebrew studies focus on understanding basic Shabbat Tefillot with a concentration on prayers that the students will lead during the Friday evening and Saturday morning services when they become Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
Our clergy is continuing the parent mentoring program with meetings scheduled for October 11 and November 27. In addition, our Rabbis and Cantor will be involved in a Shabbat morning learners’ minyan on November 3 and a Friday night and Saturday “Shabbaton” study on February 29 and March 1.
