| Our formal religious school course of study culminates in the graduation from Chai School and life long Jewish learning. The celebration of becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah is seen as a milestone along the way to graduation. An integral part of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah program is a special family education seminar led by the Cantor during Sunday school hours for the Hei Class. In addition to reviewing cantillation and prayer, the Cantor touches on a variety of topics crucial to Jewish literacy. For more information, refer to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah Handbook. |

The goal of the Club, for grades 5 & 6, is to meet for eight weeks and learn Torah "trope" - the melodies used for chanting the Torah. At the end of eight weeks,
interested Club Members can read from the Torah at a Shabbat afternoon
Mincha service. The club meets meets on Saturday mornings 10:00 -10:30 am before Jr. Congregation in the school wing. Members are required to know the Aleph-bet and have a basic Hebrew reading ability. Send the application form with $10 (check made out to B'nai Tikvah) to cover the cost of materials. |

The Library is located in the new wing across from the front entrance of the multi-purpose room.
