Spiritual development is a journey that begins early in childhood and continues throughout life. At She’arim, we intend to provide Jewish youth with the tools they will need to discover who they are, where they came from, and where their aspirations can take them.
Kindergarten She’arim Lishtol
In the She’arim Lishtol program, children acquire their first sweet taste of Jewish life. In this class children begin to study the Hebrew aleph-bet, discover God through prayer, explore Torah stories, experience the holidays and learn the beauty of Mitzvot. Through creative projects, musical expression, dramatic performances, stimulating stories, games and more, students explore Judaism through the world of hands-on experiences
Grades 1-6 She’arim Lilmod
In the She’arim Lilmod program, students enter the gates of more serious education. They will develop Hebrew language skills, explore the Jewish calendar, delve into the meaning of our prayers and Mitzvot, and discover the intricacies of Torah stories and God. The overlying objective is tor create an environment where children develop a love of Judaism.
B’nai Mitzvah Program She’arim La’asot
Preparing for B’nai Mitzvah is an important time when students begin to explore their personal commitment to Judaism and the Jewish community. Our She’arim B’nai Mitzvah program is designed to ensure your child an engaging and spirited learning environment. Students will be encouraged to question, debate and engage in a meaningful dialogue about what it means to be a Jewish adult. Keeping with our egalitarian principles, all of our B’nai Mitzvah students will be trained to read Torah and Haftorah, deliver a D’var Torah and lead parts of the Shabbat service.
B’Yachad... a Beth Jacob Synagogue and Temple Anshe Sholom collaboration
Together (b’yachad), Rabbis Selsberg and Cohen, and educators, Aviva Hermannoff and Laura Wolfson, have created an exciting program for high school students called “B’Yachad”. Engaging electives for high school kids will be taught sometimes at Temple and sometimes at Beth Jacob. Weekly classes include topics such as “If Moses, Jesus and Mohammed Went To Starbucks, What Would They Talk About?” and “We All Eat The Same Matza (Orthodox, Reconstructionist, Conservative, Reform and Humanist Jews) – Are We All The Same?”
