Beit Rabban for Grades K-7
Beit Rabban – TBZ’s innovative Hebrew School
Beit Rabban main goal is to connect our children to Judaism through stimulating, interactive learning. We developed the Beit Rabban program 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 students on a journey exploring innovative new roads to Torah, to God, and to a mindful, purposeful Jewish life. In this way, children will be encouraged to find their own place within the Jewish tradition.
In the Beit Rabban program we have several distinct learning goals for each group level and each individual pupil. We also envision a common goal for all students: to build a sense of community among TBZ’s children and their families.
Beit Rabban classes are held once a week on Wednesday afternoons. While classes are important, we believe that participating in a variety of additional children’s programming provided by TBZ is necessary to achieve the goals we propose for our Beit Rabban students. 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. We urge you to consider joining us for one our most exciting family programs, the annual Family Retreat – a kid-and-adult-friendly Shabbaton weekend where we celebrate a whole Shabbat as a community. All of these programs supplement and enrich the Beit Rabban curriculum. So please check our calendar, come join us and see these programs as a vital part of your Beit Rabban experience.
We also encourage attending our joyous Shabbat services as a family when possible. In this way, we can teach our children to value community and prayer, and we can teach our community that our children are our present and our future.
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 Beit Rabban will do its best to provide engaging materials and family education for this purpose.
