Shalom, JCS families!
Although we have enjoyed seeing many of you online, we really miss seeing your children, cooking, singing and dancing with them. (We hope the donuts helped!)
We wanted to update you on our plans for Jewish Culture School this fall.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic which we expect to be still an issue, we have decided to hold fall classes online. We know that online classes are not easy, especially for the youngest, so we are going to have classes for each age group separately. Each class will meet for half an hour. We’ll try to make the classes fun and engaging, and we’ll occasionally be asking you parents to have certain supplies or foods ready, and maybe to come to class to sing or dance with your child.
After our first meeting on August 30, we’ll meet the first three Sundays of each month for the rest of the year. The dates are:
August 30
September 6, 13, and 20
October 4, 11, and 18
November 1, 8, 15, and 22
December 6, 13, and 20
Our youngest group, up through 3rd grade, will meet from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30.
The middle group, fourth through sixth graders, will meet from 10:45 – 11:15.
The oldest group, seventh grade up, will meet from 11:30 – 12:00.
Brit Mitzvah kids will stay online at 12:00 to meet with Jamie.
We know this isn’t ideal and we hope to be able to meet together in the future, but for now, we want to keep the kids connected to the community and to each other.
-Judy (middle and older kids), Jamie (Brit Mitzvah) and Jazz (youngest kids)
Hoping you can help — I recently discovered SHJ and started a small group locally, but my oldest turns 12 next month, and I’m running out of time to grow us a community from the grassroots up. I tried our local Reform synagogue last year, but it just isn’t a good fit. A friend suggested I search out CSJO groups to see if you might be willing and able to take on a couple of FL kids (since everything is online now anyway). Is that possible?
Hi Susan. What would be a good way for our Bar/Bat Mitzvah program teachers to reach out to you?
