This program is an opportunity for students and their families to get acquainted with and comfortable in Beth El Congregation on Sunday mornings. The students take music classes, learn Bible stories and are introduced to the Jewish holidays along with the Hebrew Alef-Bet. Our teachers are professional educators who work in the Beth El Pre-school, elementary schools or the local JCC.
Project Mishpacha (click for details)
Project Mishpacha is unique to Beth El Congregation. This program is a perfect blend of student, family and adult learning. Students come to Hebrew School twice per week. Each grade level experiences one or two family programs per year. This is an opportunity for parents to learn with their children about the ideas and concepts that are taught in the classroom. Parents are encouraged to talk about these ideas and concepts at home in order to bring the discussion alive and to continue the learning. Parent education is also an important ingredient in their children’s education. The parents' model that Jewish education is important and that learning does not end with B’nai Mitzvah. Parent education is taught by the Beth El clergy.

Judaism becomes an integral part of the families’ lives and not just something that happens in the congregation or school through weekday Hebrew school classes held in homes, Sunday school in the congregation, retreats, field trips and so much more.
