School Activities

Grade Level Shabbat

The first Friday of every month is designated to give each student an opportunity to take responsibility for participating in and leading a Shabbat service for our community. This is an integral part of our curriculum. Families are encouraged to attend all grade level Shabbat services to build a connection to our KI community and to learn and listen to the prayers they will be learning in Hebrew school.

Tzedakah Program

Students are encouraged to fulfill the mitzvah (commandment) of tzedakah as a part of our Jewish Education program. Tzedakah comes from the root word- tzadee.dalet.koof. (tzedek) which means “righteousness” or “justice.”

In Judaism tzedakah is not an act of charity, rather is it simply an act of justice. When our students are righteous in their actions and deeds we build a better community and a better world.

Each class will discuss and decide where their tzedakah collection will be sent.
