Temple Beth Shira Home Education

Religious School 2012-2013

Dear Parents:

Tuesday, May 2, will be the last day of Religious School for the 2011-2012. As
captured in the the letter sent out by Temple Beth Shira’s President,
and discussed at the congregational meeting (Sunday, April 20),our
board is finalizing a ‘shared servicing’ arrangement to enable us to
open our school for 2012-2013. Students through 7th grade will be overseen by a highly
qualified and well-regarded rabbi and educator.

A key aspect of the new program will be Jewish socialization for our
younger students and families. For example, we will be offering family
services to augment the school programming and create a more robust Jewish
environment for our children. Bar/Bat Mitzvah will be managed
in-house.

We are working with Cantor Stettner to determine post-B’nai Mitzvah
and Adult Education programs under her continued supervision as she
transitions to a part-time clergy position effective July 1.

For the Religious School, two options will be offered:

(1) A traditional “bricks and mortar” Religious School, with a one-day
a week program, and with the same quality maintained as today’s school
(day of the week to be determined).
(2) A private-tutoring program for those parents/students whose
schedule does not allow for the traditional track.

If you have any questions, please call me at (561) 245-0829.

All the best,

David Marcus
Education Chair/TBS Board of Directors

Goals
The goals we set for our Religious School at  Temple Beth Shira use our heritage, traditions and history to make our lives today more meaningful, while encouraging commitment to Jews the world over. We want the students to use the books that we order to develop a Jewish Library of their own while learning from these text books during the class.
Worship
A positive attitude toward prayer and worship is reated through mastery of blessings, prayers and music and being able to read and understand  our prayer book.
Ethics and Values
An appreciation of the contributions of Jewish tradion can influence one's personal life to apply the value of our Jewish heritage to the issues of every day living in our complex world.
Ceremonies
By instilling a positive regard and respect of ceremony  in a religious life (traditions) through familiarity with the Jewish religious calendar, person habits of ceremonial observance are embraced by actively participating in a wide array of Jewish practice.
Hebrew
A concern and appreciation is developed for the special importance of the Hebrew Language in the life of the Jewish people in the United State, Israel and the world over.  Students learn  the Hebrew Language, encouraging its use in prayer.
The Jewish People
Students develop a sense of identification with the Jewish people by actively participating in many aspects of the Jewish community, by acquiring knowledge of Jewish life in America,  past and present, and by understanding the importance of the State of Israel and its history.
Theology
Developing a personal religious orientation and commitment through an understanding of the problems that have universally concerned mankind: studying how the Jewish people have dealt with these problems in the past and the importance of Reform Judaism's  contributions in this  important area.
Bar/Bat Mitzvah
Preparation for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah  is provided by our spiritual Leader Cantor Ellen Stettner.
