Event Series Hebrew School – TEE

Hebrew School – TEE

Temple Emanu-El 2100 Highland Ave, Birmingham, AL, United States

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. Our goal is to help develop our students’ capability to participate in Jewish prayer services. 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.

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.

Israel after a Year of War: External Enemies, Internal Strife and No End in Sight

Zoom

Join Times of Israel political correspondent Sam Sokol to discuss how Israel is managing a year into its most brutal war in decades. While tens of thousands of Israelis remain displaced and more young men die in combat in Gaza and Lebanon, Israelis have turned on each other, fighting political battles over hostage deals, ultra-Orthodox enlistment and the morality of war. It is a confusing time, even for Israelis, and Sokol is here to answer all your questions as Israel enters its second year of war. RSVP to monika@ourtemple.org
