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.

  • A Typical Day at Chaverim
    A Typical Day at Chaverim So what happens at Chaverim, anyway? Students are called and texted on Sunday, to make sure they are not going to miss a great session of Chaverim. As the class begins, a “not‐too‐busy‐to‐help‐out” parent drops off a dinner to serve a class of tired, hungry, often stressed out teens. One by one, the “not‐to‐busy‐to‐come” teens begin to arrive at the synagogue. Some, carrying school backpacks, some in soccer uniforms, and others in jams, T‐shirts and slippers, greet each other as if they are at a summer camp reunion. Smart phone screens are flashing away, set aside for a moment to make way for a hello, a shout or a hug. Dinner follows a Motzie and a pleasant tapestry of conversation ensues. As the appetites wane and the plates empty, Rick’s familiar chant of “Okay, let’s make a circle, time to meet” rings out. Students crowd into a circle of chairs ceremoniously tossing phones in the middle of the circle, sometimes arranged into a fantastic “sculpture” by an energetic student. The chatter slowly dies down, followed by yet another traditional act, the passing around of a bag of tangerines, or cookies. Then, the moment arrives, “The Topic”. The topic could arise from a riveting current event, the approach of yet another Jewish holiday or just a compelling question. The discussion, most often coming through what we call a “Jewish lens” manifests in a collage of agreements, disagreements, interruptions understandings, and always the usual cacophony of infinite Jewish opinions.
