Kesher: A Jewish Teen Experience for teens 8th through 12th Grades The Kesher program promotes community learning for our High School students in grades 8th – 12th. The students get to know each other by meeting twice a month, for twelve sessions, beginning in October, at the N. E. Miles Jewish Day School to share dinner and learn. During each session, students will participate in an elective class along with an all-group content-based activity. Each elective will be a current topic of interest. In addition, students will participate in two community mitzvah projects to be done on a Sunday. The students will be part of the decision about what they will do. We also hope to take a community trip if possible.

4th, 5th, & 6th Grade Hebrew School As students begin 4th grade, we teach Hebrew through prayer. We focus on strengthening their decoding skills (mainly in 4th grade), Hebrew vocabulary within the prayers, and the themes, concepts, and meaning of different prayers during Tefillah on Sundays and Wednesdays.

In 5th and 6th grade, students begin mastering the Erev Shabbat (Friday evening) and Shabbat morning prayers that they will chant for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah services.
For those interested in deepening their Jewish learning or converting to Judaism. Class will be in-person on Thursdays at Temple Beth El, approx. two times each month. Begins August 7th 2025. $180/individual and $300/couples
Ronne & Donald Hess cordially invite you to a discussion with Edward Serotta, founding director of Centropa. Edward is a Savannah-born, Vienna-based writer, photographer, and filmmaker who has spent 40 years in Central and Eastern Europe. He has focused on Jewish themes while also covering wars and revolutions. He is the founder of Centropa, a Jewish historical institute. Their archive is unique: Centropa worked with 140 interviewers, editors, and historians, where they interviewed 1,230 elderly Jews still living in 20 European countries. They never used video in those interviews. They did not focus primarily on the Holocaust. Rather, Centropa digitized 25,150 family photographs and transcribed 45,000 pages of stories that begin in the 1920s and end in 2007. In 2023, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum purchased the Centropa archive, which in late 2025 will open a special collections page on the USHMM website. Centropa’s educational teams work in 11 countries in Europe, as well as in North America and Israel and conduct 15 to 17 teachers’ seminars every year. Centropa Summer Academies have brought 1,150 teachers from 15 countries to Europe, where they meet with historians and tour cities such as Berlin, Prague, Sarajevo, Budapest, and Vienna.
