CHILDREN'S CLASSES

The Interfaith Community has systematically developed a curriculum to educate children in grades Pre-K-6 about both their traditions. Team-taught by Jewish and Christian educators, our classes aim to nurture continuity with each faith, but not to blur their differences or to indoctrinate. Instead, we hope to provide children with basic literacy in each, to foster respect for religion and the meaning it can bring to life, to inspire joy and delight in their religious heritages and practices, and to lay a foundation for their own religious journeys.

This gathering for families with children of all ages serves as an introduction to our children's course and as a great opportunity for families to meet and learn together.

"Doing the Right Thing," reflects on biblical stories and values of ethical behavior. Students will learn basic bible stories and characters and apply that learning to ethical conduct. This course incorporates arts and drama with an emphasis on the major characters in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures.
