Middle School (Grades 7-8)
The purposes of Havurah’s Middle School program are to open a doorway to Community and Connection between and among middle school kids, their families and other adult members of Havurah. Through connection, we hope to nurture a love of Jewish learning, complement the efforts and experiences of the B’nai/B’not Mitzvah process while creating a program that meets the needs and interests of our varied population.
Designed for 7th and 8th graders, the Middle School offers students and families a unique blend of programs … from Wednesday nights Beit Midrash (House of Study) classes to Shabbat Dinners, Tikkun Olam projects, and weekend Retreats. Students and families can elect to participate in any individual program… or in all of them!
