Dear CBI Community Hebrew School Families:
Along with CBI Community Hebrew School's education team, I would like to welcome you to the 2018-2019 school year!
I'm very excited to be beginning a new year of Jewish growth and learning with your children and your family. As Director of Education, I'm thrilled to share some new elements to our education program that aim to nourish both children's and parents' desire to be part of a vibrant, relevant and meaningful Jewish experience. This year, we are slightly shifting our class groups to increase enrollment, we're innovating new Family Learning events and we're expanding our Hebrew instruction for the entire school. I look forward to sharing more information with you about these modifications as we approach the start of the school year.
• Registration & Tuition Form
• Calendar of Hebrew School Classes and Family Education Events
Classes meet regularly on Mondays from 3:30 pm to 5:15 pm. There are also a number of Family Learning events scheduled at various times throughout the year. As parents, your participation in these events can't be overstated— I look to you as a vital force in your chidfren)'s emerging Jewish identity so please make every effort to bring your presence, curiosity and support to these experiences.
I welcome you to be in contact with me for any reason so please feel free to email me at [email protected].
I can't wait to share this new school year with you!
L'Shalom,
Rabbi Jarah Greenfield
