Pre-K - 6th Grade JEMS
JEMS (Judaic Education Modules) for Pre-K through 6th Grade
We raise Jewish Mensches through innovative, experiential and FUN programming.
Our award-winning teachers and professional music and theatre specialists utilize the arts, music, drama, cooking, Hebrew Through Movement and more to teach Jewish Values, Torah, Israel, Hebrew, and prayers. Family education, celebrating holidays, Shabbat and Mitzvah opportunities are core to creating lifelong friendships!
​
All Pre-K through 6th Grade and families will convene once a month on Wednesdays for family holiday celebrations, family social action projects, and various family Mitzvah opportunities throughout the year.
​
In addition, parents will be invited to join Rabbi Li-Paz and Sharone Weizman for scheduled sessions throughout the year to discuss current events that are relevant to raising Jewish children during our current times.
​
All classes are organized by grade level and location.​
