Teaching our children

A choice of paths

	Shir Hadash students pick mustard grass at Indian Creek Park in Fox Point as part of a Tikkun Olam (“repair of the world”) project.

At Shir Hadash, education is not just one course, but a whole buffet.

It starts with a family education class that introduces our community’s youngest members to Judaism with joy, focusing on the holidays and on the importance of tzedakah (charity).

The next course integrates religious and Hebrew education for older children with a Reconstructionist flair. Our program emphasizes teaching students to become active participants in a vibrant Jewish community.

Then our Judaism and Urban Poverty course teaches those of bar and bat mitzvah age how to turn good intentions into meaningful actions.

These classes are open not only to Shir Hadash members, but to anyone interested in a unique Jewish learning experience. If needed, we also provide individual instruction for members’ children approaching bar or bat mitzvah.

Contact us for more information or to register your child for classes.

Risa Berg Iskandarsjach and Bonnie Mclean are our Youth Education Committee co-chairs.
