Hebrew School Project: Kesher and Mechina
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. Click here to download a Kesher Application for the 2010-2011 school year.
- Mechina meets on Thursday afternoons for children K-1st grade. 2nd-5th grade meets on Tuesday afternoons. Hebrew High for 7th and 8th graders meets on Wednesdays. 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.
