Daily Schedule

We will begin our days with greeting our lovely children as they transition from school to shul and feeding them a yummy, nutritious snack. The snack time will include blessings and intention around food and eating. After snack, we'll start Block 1, the youth will divide into 2 groups based on grade level. The K-3rd graders will go with Hebrew specialist Dor for a Hebrew lesson and the 4th-5th graders will head off for some experiential learning with Morah Rivkah. Depending on where we are in our curriculum, we will be learning about Jewish Holidays, middot/values, synagogue skills and Torah through this year's theme of "People of the Book." Learning will be done through art, drama, singing, cooking, stories, book making, etc. After 35 minutes we will come together to Daven Mincha. And then it will be time to transition to Block 2 and the groups will switch places. We'll spend the last 10 minutes in a closing circle and saying good bye to each other. (Parents and siblings are invited to the closing circle.)

Hebrew language will be infused into our days at Ketzev. Modern Hebrew will be spoken during snack and activities and we'll do lots of singing of songs in Hebrew. Siddur Hebrew will be experienced during our Tefillah time. There will be a diversity of Hebrew knowledge among the Ketzev kids and we will work to meet each student at their level.
