Jewish Culture School:
JCS culminates in a Secular Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony in which the students demonstrate what they have learned. The Bar/Bat Mitzvah preparation, consisting of a series of projects including community service, is aimed at making connections between Jewish life and the every-day interests of the students. Projects are chosen in consultation with parents, teachers, mentors and the students to reflect those interests.
JCS meets twice a month, on Sunday mornings from 10:30 to 12:30. Parents are welcome to attend, but we'll put you to work helping with the cooking!
The school welcomes children from dual-cultural households and those from non-traditional families. We make a special effort to integrate the child's full heritage into the Sunday School and Bar/Bat Mitzvah experience.
