Shaar+Zahav+(San+Francisco,+CA)

**Sha’ar Zahav will expand its “Galei Limudim”- Learning Wave approach, in which adult congregants (parents and non-parents) study the theme and content of a religious school class’s curriculum, developing a four-week mini-unit which they then teach to the relevant class in collaboration with a classroom teacher. . Shaar Zahav will expand the Galei Limudim approach to run two times a year in each lower grade ( 2/3, and 4/5). It will also train a core group of congregational education leaders to make the project leadership self-sustaining, develop processes for identifying and recruiting Galei Limudim participants.

We have also started a new innovative and inclusive Shabbat morning program, "Shabbat Simcha". This program features a learner's minyan, Shabbat learner's tracks, and Shabbat lunch. The service will help to introduce our new Siddur and help familiarize our community with the prayer service. The tracks will focus on Judaism and the environment, middot, Torah and our themes: holiness, Jewish journeys and people of the book. The program will be open to our entire community. **

//In 2008-2009 we have continued with our Galei Limudim program (where adult members of the community, both parents and non-parents go into the classroom. We also will be developing two Community Wide Havdallahs, the first one is in January and the theme is social justice. We also have developed two different Havurah programs, one in the San Francisco area and one in the East Bay (Berkeley, Oakland). These Havurah's bring together families in people's homes for Shabbat dinner and torah study.//
