BHC will offer an alternative, family-based learning track for fourth grade families, inviting them to design a personalized family Jewish learning plan consisting of several required elements (a Shabbaton, Shabbat services, havdalah, Shabbat dinners and journaling), and choices from a menu of optional learning activities. Groups of eight families will be guided by a congregational mentor, selected for his/her pedagogic experience, Judaic knowledge and “menschlichkeit,” acting as a bridge connecting the mentee families with congregational life. This approach will be expanded each year to culminate in seventh grade.
