PreHebrew
Pre-Hebrew provides a fantastic way to strengthen your 4 year old's Jewish identity, introduce your child to our traditions, observances, music, and explore Judaism in an age appropriate setting. The curriculum includes Jewish holidays, songs, bible stories, Sh'ma, and more. A weekly craft corresponds to holidays or themes for each class. As a parent, consider the benefits for your child. Pre-K offers a transition for children looking ahead to religious school. Your child will develop their awareness of Judaism in a very fun way, building on their Jewish identity.
Jill Murgo, experienced pre-school teacher, OFC certified, mother of three little kids, brings her enthusiasm and talents to our Pre-Hebrew class.
The class is open to children who are four years old by September 1, 2006
It meets on Sundays from 9:15 to 10:30 AM in the Little House (next to the temple).
