Hebrew School Project: Kesher and Mechina
Dear Community Members and Friends,
Welcome to the JCP Hebrew School Project!
The goals of JCP Hebrew School Project are to instill a positive cultural identity and ethical foundation in our children. Should they participate at JCP for the course of their young lives, children will be introduced to the full range of Jewish life, culture, language, ethics, Torah, history, and identity. Our program is unique in that it utilizes the latest educational resources to inspire and teach. Art, cooking, music, informal education, and computers expose children to their tradition in a fun, dynamic, and creative environment.
JCP offers two tracks in the afterschool program:
- Kesher meets on Monday AND Wednesday afternoons for children K-7th with a strong focus on the Hebrew language as the gateway to Jewish identity and learning about Jewish culture, art, history, and religion.
- Mechina meets on Tuesday afternoons OR Sunday mornings for children K-5th. The Mechina curriculum is based on Jewish Time and Holidays and gives learners an opportunity to explore their Jewish identity through Hebrew, Judaica, and music.
Please read more about each program by clicking thru the Kesher or Mechina tab on your right.
