Intergenerational Torah Study
A Religious School program targeted at pre-Bar/Bat Mitzvah students who are assisted in their studies by older teens, parents and older congregants. Held on Sundays, all are welcome to participate. First we meet with Rabbi Pein to be briefed on the Torah portion to be discussed with the students; we then break into small groups to plan our study, and thereafter spend about 40 minutes with our assigned students.

Project Re-Imagine - What is it?
Our temple community is now participating in an exciting journey whose
purpose is to examine our current educational program and "re-imagine it"
based on the needs and interests of our entire congregation. For the next
eighteen months a task force of congregants representing all demographic
groups will be looking at the history and culture of our temple and then
learning about different models of educational programming taking place in
synagogues throughout the United States. Our journey which is funded by a
grant from the UJA/Federation has as its goal the creation of a new vision
of temple programming focusing on all aspects of one's life from the cradle
to the grave! As our task force progresses, we will keep the congregation
informed. We hope that you will be as excited about this journey as we are!
Project Re-Imagine Leadership Team:
Bruce Nathanson and Tim Lindon Chairmen.
