Mid-Week Hebrew for Grades 3-6
Mid-Week Hebrew School
All religious school and Hebrew school classes will be
online using Zoom for the spring semester.
Our hope is to return in-person for fall 2021!
Our Wednesday evening Hebrew program is available for students in third though sixth grade. Each of the 24 sessions includes an all-school T’filah (prayer) service geared specially toward pre-B’nei Mitzvah students. While the core focus of Hebrew school is on Hebrew engagement, each grade’s approach is different.
- Third graders dive deep into customs, meaning, and vocabulary related to Shabbat and Passover. Each session incorporates Hebrew surrounding those holidays (i.e., Challah, Kiddish, Pesach, Chag Sameach), as well as the introduction of a new “Hebrew letter of the week”.
- Fourth graders continue to build on learned Hebrew with the use of Hebrew workbooks and fun classroom games.
- Fifth graders use their Hebrew knowledge to begin learning Prayerbook Hebrew. Using a curriculum called “Make T’filah Meaningful”, students learn the meaning of the prayers we say and sing through art and stories.
- Sixth graders have skill level-based classes. The level 1 class is all about practice, practice, practice! Once the students test into level 2, they focus more on reading fluency and reading from the Mishkan T'filah prayer book (the one they will use when they become B'nei Mitzvah)!
