Shalom Yeladim!

Shalom Yeladim! is a brand new program for parents and their little ones (2-4 year olds). Once a month on a Sunday morning during Religious School, parents and kiddos will meet and learn about Shabbat and the Jewish holidays. Through crafts, play, yoga, music and fun, kids will begin to learn about Judaism in a hands-on and experiential way. Parents are invited to join their children on this engaging Jewish educational journey. Shalom Yeladim! is taught by the talented Gloria Mellman who strives to bring passion and joy to every session!

Garden of Eating

In the Garden of Eating, students and their families will join Rabbi Boxman for a Sunday morning of learning, cooking, socializing and most importantly, eating. Each session will focus on a different Jewish holiday and will include a discusion, cooking experience and tasting. All sessions run from 9:00am-11:00am and are grade specific.

Mitzvah Bus

In this updated curriculum for the 7th grade, students will have an opportunity to engage in mitzvah projects each week. Throughout the school year, students will hear from engaging speakers, visit and learn about the work of local non-profit organizations, and engage in community service projects. At the end of the year, students will add up their weekly tzedakah contributions and make individual presentations about where they want the funds to be donated. A vote will be taken and the students will determine how their funds will be allocated. This program aims to educate our youth about the important work that needs to be done in our community and empower the students to take an active role in bringing about change. As an added bonus, each time students go out into the community service projects, they will stop at a local donut shop in search of Naples best donut!
