ADULT EDUCATION
    
Or Emet offers a variety of adult education programs. Call now to find out about current and upcoming classes offered.

CHAI KIDS

A unique educational program for children ages 5 - 8, Chai kids meets twice monthly on Sunday afternoons for a celebration of Jewish values, traditions and holidays through "hands-on" activities and a thoughtful, enriching curriculum.  Festivals such as Sukkot and Passover as well as Torah concepts of tzedakah and Tikkun Olam take on deeper meaning in an atmosphere of empathy, respect and encouragement.

HEBREW / JUDAICA CLASSES     

     The facets of Or Emet's Hebrew education program... Hebrew reading, Jewish history, Torah values, holidays and Judaic culture... are presented through an integrated and involving curriculum.  The goal of these classes is to develop an understanding and appreciation of the events and ideas that form the foundation for living a meaningful Jewish life.  Our  teachers create an exuberant, non-threatening environment in which learning becomes a joyful experience.   The curriculum progresses from Kitah Alef (age9) to Kita Bet (age 10) to Kitah Gimel (age 11) through Kitah Dalet (age 12).

BAR / BAT MITZVAH

     Or Emet encourages all students to participate in Bar/Bat Mitzvah tutoring during their final year (Kitah Dalet) of religious classes.  Emphasis in religious classes focus on understanding and applying Torah principles in one's personal and community life, gaining insights into the course of Jewish history and improving Hebrew reading and understanding.  Bar/Bat Mitzvah tutoring prepares the students to participate fully and competently in the honor of reading from the Torah and reciting the Haftorah.

Please visit the Bar & Bat Mitzvah page for a list of Saturday morning prayers and recordings.
