ICE CREAM OPEN HOUSE
Tuesday, August 25, 2026 at 6:00-7:00 PM

Join us for an Ice Cream Social Open House to meet Rabbi Lisë Stern, our teachers, tour our newly renovated classrooms, learn about the following programs and enjoy ice cream together:

SUNDAY FAMILY CAMP (Ages 4-6) - Sunday Camp meets from 10:00-12:00 one Sunday morning per month. The Sunday Program focuses mostly on holidays as they fall on the Jewish calendar and also includes some work with prayers and Hebrew letters, as well as Jewish themes and values. We use a mixture of crafts, songs, dance, games, activities and stories to help our students experience Judaism. Parent participation is required for this program, so that parents can help support their child’s learning during our class time.

YOUTH EDUCATION (Ages 7-18) - Our Youth Education program meets weekly for students in grades 2+. Synagogue membership is required for the following programs.

Kitah Aleph (Grade 2) and Kitah Bet (Grade 3): Aleph and Bet classes work to provide students with the basics of learning Hebrew letter recognition and decoding in order to learn to read, as well as learning about holiday observance, Tzedakah and Jewish living.

Kita Gimel and Kitah Dalet (Grades 4 and up):
Gimel and Dalet teachers work with students to build on their Hebrew reading skills with emphasis on prayers surrounding the Amidah and Torah service as well as Jewish ethics and living based on the Torah.

Bar/Bat Mitzvah - The B’nai Mitzvah program prepares students to take their place as adults within the Jewish Community. This program includes a focus on leading prayer, Jewish history, Judaica, and preparation of D’Var Torah.

Confirmation - These classes focus on advanced Jewish education.
