This is a significant transition and a big step in the educational, social maturation process for your child. It is an exciting time, one filled with hope and anticipation. Kindergarten is also the time that we begin our formal religious education at Beth Sholom. We have a wonderful Gan program that meets on Sunday mornings from 9:00 to 12:15. Our teacher is loving, warm and creative. She introduces the children to Hebrew letters and they explore what being Jewish means to them through holiday and Bible studies. It is a great first experience for young learners. In the second year of the Gan program, our teacher facilitates the children's ability to actually begin reading Hebrew as well as to continue learn- ing all about the wonderful world of Jewish life. Beginning your child's formal Jewish education in Gan is very important for continuity and steady growth through his/her years at Beth Sholom. The foundation that is cemented in Gan will enable your child to build his/her Hebraic skills as well as to learn the many things necessary to live a meaningful and rich Jewish life.

WHAT IS KERUV? Keruv is a program developed by the Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs to help couples, parents, grandparents and their extended families deal with issues that arise when interfaith relationships and marriages occur. Keruv is an attempt to bring Jews and their non-Jewish relatives closer to us and our traditional cultural values. Almost half of American Jews who wed between 1996 and 2000 married outside the faith. While this is a relatively new phenomenon for the Jewish community, it doesn't serve to deny that this situation exists. Many of us have interfaith married couples in our extended families or know people who do. If you are interested in having a facilitated interactive discussion on this topic, please contact: Arthur Lashin, Beth Sholom Men's Club President Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs Keruv Consultant Please call 215-576-0295 or email firstname.lastname@example.com 2007 Connections Deadline Sept.- Oct.
