NITZANIM RELIGIOUS SCHOOL

Bruchim Ha’Baim,  Welcome to Nitzanim!

Nitzanim is Temple Sholom’s program for our youth beginning in kindergarten and moving up at the end of 7th grade into the next phase of their education at Hebrew High. Nitzanim is the name of our school and it means flower buds or new beginnings in Hebrew. This name connects to our childrens’ formal Jewish learning beginning here at Temple Sholom. We cannot wait to see how they will blossom into the young, socially conscious Jews that will become our future leaders.

Our mission for Nitzanim is to build community through meaningful relationships and live Jewishly.

The goals of our school:

●      To create a warm, fun and engaging space for being Jewish

●      Develop long lasting and meaningful friendships

●      Explore Torah through experiential learning environment, connecting the words on the page to our daily lives

●      Acquiring 21st Century skills through Project Based Learning while delving into meaningful Judaic topics (Israel, Jewish History, Holiday and Jewish Values)

●      Connect to the Hebrew language through an interactive experience with Hebrew Through Movement, while making personal meaning out of our daily prayers, tefillot and blessings

●      Impart Jewish values to our learners through acts of kindness, “hesed”, to connect their Jewish studies to their daily living as they learn the true meaning of what it means to be a mensch
