  • Never Again Education Act (H.R
    April 8, 2019 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representative: We, the more than 300 undersigned organizations and institutions, representing millions of Americans from every state in the Union, support the Never Again Education Act (H.R. 943) and strongly encourage you to cosponsor the bill. This important bipartisan legislation uses public funding and private donations in a classic public-private partnership to provide teachers with the resources and training they need to teach children the important lessons of the Holocaust and the consequences of bigotry and hate. As organizations that support Holocaust education as a vital part of our children’s learning experience, we are proud to support this bill that ensures more middle schools and high schools will have the opportunity to educate their students about the Holocaust. We face a stark contrast today: As the number of living Holocaust survivors and eyewitnesses dwindles, Holocaust denial and ignorance are becoming much more prevalent. Now, it is more important than ever that survivor stories be told to audiences around the globe. Unfortunately, far too many students in the United States grow up without basic knowledge of the events of the Holocaust. A survey released in April 2018 by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany shows that Americans are forgetting about the Holocaust, or are completely unaware it occurred. For instance, 49 percent of millennials cannot name a single concentration camp. Thirty-one percent of Americans believe that two million or fewer Jews were killed in the Holocaust, even though six million Jews and millions of others perished.

  • Hillelgaprogram Text CS6.Indd
    I am thrilled to welcome you to Hillel International’s fi rst annual Global Assembly. I am excited for what the next days will bring, and grateful that you could join us to participate in this important convening. The decision to hold a professional gathering is not a new one—years ago, Hillel professionals would gather annually to meet one another and create the vision for the year ahead. When I started my tenure as President of Hillel International, I knew that we must bring back this type of convening. This year, we gather for the fi rst time as a truly global movement, and notably, the largest gathering of Hillel professionals in history. This Hillel International: Global Assembly gives us an opportunity to refl ect on how we have grown in the past year, to celebrate the great work that many of our colleagues have been doing on campus and in the community, to think critically and thoughtfully about our goals for the year ahead, and most importantly to learn from each other. While we are all together, I encourage you to meet with many of your peers and share the exciting activities that are taking place on campus. Informal and interpersonal education has proven to be a critical source of learning, and Hillel International: Global Assembly has included a number of peer-to-peer networking sessions for that very purpose. I cannot wait to begin our time together in Orlando, and I look forward to seeing many of you over the course of the next few days. B’shalom, Eric Fingerhut Hillel International: Global Assembly 1 THANKS Educational Workshops

  • Jewish Learning Center Family Handbook 2012/13
    Please sign & Pages return requiring signatures JJeewwiisshh LLeeaarrnniinngg CCeenntteerr FFaammiillyy HHaannddbbooookk 22001122//1133 –– 55777733 Shomrei is a Full Service Synagogue with a Community Feeling …and you shall teach them diligently unto your children…” (Deuteronomy 6:7) At Shomrei, we are committed to helping parents of toddlers and preschoolers connect to a synagogue - through our state accredited Mommy and Me, Toddler Time, Early Childhood Programs and PreSchool, we foster early friendships and form early Jewish identification. Our community helps families of Jewish preschoolers choose a “next Jewish step,” such as our congregational school, known as the Jewish Learning Center (“JLC”), or nearby Solomon Schechter. We encourage our children to continue to the next step seamlessly, from preschool to Jewish educational program in Kindergarten, where children discover the meaning of Jewish identity as they explore and engage with the values, history, language, beliefs and rituals of the Jewish people. In our JLC, we use all our opportunities to engage our students; learning occurs in the classroom, the sanctuary, the music room, on field trips and in many family-oriented activities throughout the year. Our younger children attend every Sunday morning while our older students learn Sundays and Wednesdays. STOM, our post Bnei Mitzvah/Hebrew High School/USY, meet Wednesday evenings. This year, we take pride in introducing a family service called Hinei Ma Tov, monthly (see calendar for details) and a Tot Shabbat twice a month. Experiential learning is central to our curriculum. Prayer and the study of text are woven into our curriculum. On Sundays and Wednesdays, students assemble to pray, daven, for Shaharit, the morning service, and Mincha, the afternoon service, where they learn basic synagogue skills and gain comfort in the service.
