As we continue to grow we have constantly
reassessed the education program at Shalom Aleichem to handle the
growing ranks of new students from our expanding membership. We
are fortunate to have a dedicated staff of educators that bring years of
practical experience, organizational skills and new ideas to the table.
At this time the Hebrew School meets
every other Sunday during the school year. Instruction includes
songs, prayers Hebrew, art projects and cultural discussions.
Special coaching for Bar and Bat Mitzvah classes is ongoing based
on expected readings.
The classes are organized as follows:
Aleph - School grades K - 1
Bet - School grades 2-3
Gimel - School Grades 4-5
Dalet - School Grades 6-8
Sunday school adult education is taught
by Rabbi Heiligman from 11:00 - 12:00 noon for $6.00/person. All
members and non-members are encouraged to attend.
We are investigating the needs for
confirmation classes since most of our members remain active in the
Synagogue and we are encouraging more education about our heritage.
What about Bar and Bat Mitzvah training?
We differ from some synagogues in a few good ways. Having no
physical building at this time, we are able to hold Bar and Bat Mitzvah
ceremonies at almost any local location. But it is the philosophy
of this Synagogue to emphasize maturity and leadership in the Bar or Bat
Mitzvah and that will typically include having students conduct
substantially the entire service, rather than focusing on only the Torah
of Haftorah portion.
