SUMMARY OF 6^th GRADE EXPERIENCE:

• As our students move into adolescence and continue the journey towards their B’nai Mitzvah, they will be diving into deeper subjects and methods of learning.  Students will be challenged to discover for themselves what Judaism means to them and what their place is in the greater community.  Class time is divided up between lessons on rituals and spiritual practice with Cantor Mark and discussion and activity related to community and coming of age. By the end of 7^th Grade and the B’nai Mitzvah cycle, these students will have created tight bonds with each other which will carry through into their adult Jewish lives.

  Special events:

  • 3x per year, Moving Traditions Family Workshop for Parents and Students (Preceeding and including Saturday morning Shabbat service)
  • 3-8^th Grade Retreat, January 30-February 1, 2026.
