About the Temple Beth Am Religious School

Our Religious School provides the highest quality Jewish oriented education available. This school provides the pre Bar-Bat Mitzvah child with the essential elements and foundation for a lifetime of participation in Jewish culture, and prepares the student with the knowledge for meaningful understanding of the relevance of Jewish ideals in the modern world.

Great emphasis is placed on Jewish history, allowing the student to better grasp the context and to provide an identity with proud Jewish traditions.

Consecration of Religious School Students including Kindergarten Class

New Religious School students in grades K-3, took part in a Consecration ceremony. New students received framed certificates and the Kindergarten students were presented with their own Tallitot.

Religious School News from David Sherman, MJEd, Director of Education

February, 2012
Shalom!

By now you should have received your children’s progress reports (AKA report cards.) I am pleased to share that there is a lot of high-energy learning going on in our classrooms. The teachers report that there is a good deal of participation, with lots of questions being asked (always a good sign when students want to learn more…)

The teachers and I need your help to keep this momentum going. Over the next few months, there will be the usual tendency to think that the school year is (almost) over – but it isn’t! PLEASE, do what you can to continue to bring your children to all their classes, both Sundays and Tuesdays, so that they will get the most out of their lessons. Please also be sure to read the weekly email that your children’s teachers send home, and visit our TBA website and Facebook pages… often! These are great ways to keep up with the pulse of the classroom and other TBA goings on.

Here are a few highlights for this month’s calendar of Religious School events:

*February 10^th: Camp Shabbat & Light Up Shabbat / Friday Night Live with Sheldon Low!

*February 12^th: Celebrate the Birthday of the Trees - a Tu B’Shevat Learning Program for

Religious School Families (9:30 – noon @ Jonathan Dickinson State Park)

*February 19^th: NO CLASSES, Presidents’ Day weekend

*February 19^th: 12:30 – 2:30 ~ Meet Sylvia Rouss, author of Sammy the Spider (meet Sammy too!) Targeted for families with children pre-school – 2^nd grade, but all are welcome!)

*February 26^th: 6^th Grade trip to Miami Jewish Museum and Holocaust Memorial

*March 3^rd: Purim Celebration (see details elsewhere in this Scribe)

*March 4^th: NO CLASSES (we’ll all be pooped out from partying at the Purim celebration!)

As always, please contact me with any questions, concerns, or compliments about the Religious School – we really do take your feedback into consideration. Also, if you would like to be more involved in the goings on in the Religious School, please give me a call and we can find ways of you sharing your talents & passions about Jewish Education and our children.

L’Shalom, David
