Children & Family Education

At TBZ we are committed to connecting our children to Judaism through meaningful, joyful, stimulating and interactive learning. We have developed different programs, including our Beit Rabban to address the false notion that Hebrew school is boring and pointless. Our greatest desire is for TBZ’s children to become captivated by a vibrant Judaism. We will lead our children on a journey exploring innovative new roads to Torah, to God, and to a mindful, purposeful Jewish life.  In this way, each child will be encouraged to find their own place within the our tradition.

Beit Rabban classes are held once a week on Wednesday afternoons. While classes are important, we believe that participating in a variety of children’s programming provided by TBZ is necessary to achieve the goals we propose for our childrem.  TBZ offers age-appropriate Yeladim activities for all grade levels, including among them:Yeladim services, Family Education events, holiday celebrations, teen youth group programming, and more throughout the year.  One our most exciting family programs is the annual Community Retreat – a kid-and-adult-friendly Shabbaton weekend where we celebrate a whole Shabbat as a community in a beautiful wooded setting in Central Massachusetts.  We hope to work together with families to bring the essence of TBZ to our children. We trust that families will bring significant Jewish practice into their homes and all our Yeladim programs, including Beit Rabban will do its best to provide engaging materials and family education for this purpose.  Please check our calendar, come join us!
