Hebrew School Project: Kesher and Mechina
Welcome to the JCP Hebrew School Project!
Join our community of learners. The Hebrew School Project is committed to nurturing spirituality, competence and a deep relationship to Jewish heritage.
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 2011-2012 afterschool program:
- Kesher meets on Monday AND Wednesday afternoons for children K-6th 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 for children K-4th grade. 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.
