Shabbat School Grades K-6
The Shabbat School is one component of the Havurah Shalom community and of Jewish living. Over time, our experiences in Shabbat School are complemented by celebrating holidays and lifecycle milestones, Tikkun Olam (Repair of the World), Tefillah (Prayer/Reflection), and by bringing Jewish values into our daily life.
The goals of the Havurah Shalom Shabbat School are:
* Develop and/or deepen our enthusiasm for Jewish learning and living.
* Embrace the Jewish values of study, social justice, celebration in home and synagogue, and participation in life cycle events.
* Appreciate and rely upon Jewish values as a guide to moral and responsible decision making for ourselves and our community.
* Engage substantively with Jewish tradition and deepen our attachment to our community.
It is our hope that the Shabbat School experience, in concert with home and community and Jewish involvement, will facilitate the following long-term outcomes:
* Children will build the beginning of a foundation for lifelong Jewish learning and engagement.
* Parents and children will be drawn into a warm and caring Jewish community that will enhance our Jewish living.
* Please see the Havurah Shalom Shabbat School Handbook for detailed information about the structure of Shabbat School, schedule, curriculum
