Kesher

N.E. Miles Jewish Day School 4000 Montclair Road, Birmingham

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.
