Enrollment is now open for the Religious School Year 2022-2023
Update on Religious School Times
As the new secular year has already opened for many our Religious School will follow on Sunday, Sept. 11 and we are very excited. Our space and staffing allows us to meet as a whole community in person for grades Prk-7th from 9:30am - 12pm and 8th -12th grades will meet from 11:30am - 12:45pm with optional Hebrew from 12:45pm - 1:30pm. Those who wish to be madrichim will be on a rotating basis in the classroom. Snacks will be included for our youngest students. This change affords the younger students to see the older students in the building as role models and for the older students to engage periodically with our youngest students. We believe this change is beneficial to everyone. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Fran at Fran.Pearlman@beth-tikvah.org
