Family Education

Intergenerational Learning

Funded in part by Combined Jewish Philanthropies, Family Education at Temple Ohabei Shalom has three principal objectives.

· to help congregants find those aspects of Judaism that are personally meaningful and inspiring to them
· to strengthen family and community connections to Judaism
· to encourage Jewish learning at all levels

We accomplish these objectives through formal educational programming and by providing support and Jewish resources to families on a one-to-one basis. Family Education is an important part of our curriculum because we realize that the home and the school are jointly responsible for a child’s Jewish education.

Parallel learning for parents, along with shared family educational experience, is proven to be a tremendously effective tool toward positive Jewish identity-building that also form a bridge for parents and students into the world of life-long learning. Imagine comparing notes with your child about the class discussions you have in common. Imagine how many terrific Jewish memories you can build, sharing creative, interactive family programs (parents, students and teachers) during the school year!
