Here are a few questions to help us make this a fantastic learning year:
Please tell us about your child/children’s informal and/or formal Jewish educational or cultural experiences.*
(i.e. synagogue, JCC, preschool, day school, camp, Israel, family, grandparents, etc.)
Is your child enrolled in PJ Library and/or PJ Our Way (free monthly Jewish books and music sent for ages 0-8 and 9-12)? Please indicate and/or comment on their experience below.*
Please share what you think may be helpful for our teachers to know so that we can best support your child’s learning and experience.*
(e.g. family transitions, learning styles, an I.E.P, favorite types of activities, etc.)
What are your goals and your child’s goals for your Jewish experience this year? How do you hope to learn or grow this year?*

What/When: RUACH offers positive, Jewish school year learning programs, Jewish holiday celebrations and special experiences. We group the learning into mini-mesters (fall, winter, spring). "RUACH Arts" (grades K-3) and "RUACH Lab" (grades 4-7) classes meet on Sunday afternoons 3:30-5:00 p.m., with variations/additions for holidays, daylight savings time, family events, outings and special opportunities. The "Hebrew Havurah" is ooffered (after a pandemic-hiatus), geared to learning Hebrew skills midweek (TBA) and/or as independent learning depending on interest. The "B'nei Mitzvah Journey" cohort is especially for preteens in grades 6-8 who are also embarking on honoring their becoming Bar/Bat/Bet Mitzvah in the next 1-2 years. Join us for a year of RUACH!

B'nei Mitzvah Journey cohort - "To Be a Blessing"

Rabbi Riqi, specialists and curious students build community and explore tradition in a fun format, on the road to becoming B'nei Mitzvah (Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, Bet Mitzvah - child responsible for the commandments) within their self, with peers, family, the world and all the places where we find and seek spirituality, using curriculum and group activities designed for this age. Includes art, parent-tween learning, Havaya experiential outings, Tikkun Olam/fixing the world projects, prayer services and family-led Shabbat/Havdalahs. We encourage creative thinking around building a Jewish experience and Bet-Mitzvah ritual that is both unique and familiar, connected to community, nature, sacred space, the Torah, your talents and a world greater than ourselves where interconnectedness is a blessing!
