Welcome to SHACHARIT!
SHACHARIT is our Jewish learning and living program for students in grades K-5! The program follows a school-year schedule and offers opportunities throughout the week for activity-based learning projects, small peer groups, worship, and spirituality. SHACHARIT also includes Small Group Hebrew for students in grades 2-5.
SHACHARIT Program Components
JEWISH LEARNING
Grades K-5: One-hour Jewish Learning- topics vary year to year
Sunday or Wednesday option
Using a Project-Based Approach, our qualified and enthusiastic Jewish educators guide our students through hands-on projects that incorporate music, stories, art, and games. Students engage in lively discussions that encourage them to ask questions and make connections between Jewish tradition and today’s world. Projects are designed to encourage student choice.
HEBREW
Grades 2-5: One-hour Small Group Hebrew
Once per Week (Days and Times Vary)
Learners in Grades 2-5 study Hebrew in small groups of 3-6 students. Groups are offered throughout the week at various times. Our Hebrew groups are carefully organized with the goal of creating a community of learners who will work together well and proceed through our Hebrew curriculum in a style and pace that meets their needs. We are committed to finding the best learning environment and scheduling option for your family.
JEWISH LIVING-KEHILLAH CLUB
Grades K-5: One-hour Jewish Living Curriculum
Sunday or Wednesday option
With the goals of fostering Jewish community, encouraging creativity, exploring Jewish Time, values, and building self-esteem, SHACHARIT students are placed in small peer Kehillah groups (6-10 students). Kehillah Groups are led by our teen Madrichim with support from staff. Activities are thematic and include art, cooking, movement, and STEM options.
WORSHIP/SPIRITUALITY
Weekly Family T'filah Gathering
Sunday morning or Wednesday late afternoon.
Judaism offers us many paths to travel as we deepen our own spirituality. SHACHARIT is proud to offer our families an interactive, family friendly gathering that features joyful music, an opportunity to practice prayers students are learning in class and a chance to consider how Jewish wisdom (Torah) is relevant today. Once a month, a Torah service is incoporated into our T'filah.
