Time for forsythia and tulips and time to register children for Hebrew school 5776! At this time we are planning to follow our traditional structure, with an Aleph class for 6-7 year olds, Bet for 8-9 year olds, Gimmel for 9-10 year olds and Dalet for 11-12 year olds, and Hey for children who are 12 and older, have been in our Hebrew school for at least one year, and are planning to become bar- or bat-mitzvah next year.
Classes will meet from 3:45 to 5:45; the b’nai mitzvah class will probably meet from 5:30 to 7:30. We hope to keep our excellent, experienced, dedicated teaching staff, but we need to know how many students we will have (and their ages and grade in public school) so we can plan staff and space to accommodate all who wish to attend. We particularly need to know about any new students who might wish to attend.
The first day of school will be September 14. We need registration forms and a deposit this month (May). Financial consideration can be arranged for both tuition and membership if necessary. We encourage all the parents to be involved with the school and to reinforce the children’s learning experiences with Jewish practices at home and with frequent attendance at services and other BAJC activities.
If you know of any youngsters who might be ready to start Hebrew school, please contact BAJC Congregation Shir Heharim at 257-1959 or info@BAJCVermont.org
