8th-12th Grade Kulanu Program

Tuesday evenings

Kulanu - Hebrew for "all of us" - is a collaborative program of Congregation Sinai, Congregation Emanu-El B’ne Jeshurun and Congregation Beth Israel Ner Tamid. Teens from all three synagogues gather for educational and social experiences that are engaging and provide a Jewish response to the social and ethical dilemmas that come up for teenagers in today’s society. Teens participate in electives that offer experiential learning opportunities which may include Jewish Cooking, Values in Sports, Israel and Modern Hebrew. Each grade also meets in core classes for intensive study focusing on topics realted to God, Torah, Israel, Social Action and the Transition to College, all with an emphasis on ethics based on Jewish teachings. Tenth grade students (sophomores) also participate in Affirmation and lead a special service in the spring to mark this milestone achievement.

 

Madrichim Program

8th-12th Grade students may also earn volunteer service hours working as teaching assistants in our Religious School on Sunday mornings. Participants are able to make a positive impact on Jewish children. The experience also makes them stronger candidates for summer jobs and helps them stand out on college applications.
