Hebrew School at Temple Sholom of Ontario
See you in the fall.
Children's Reading Class Sunday
First Session Sunday
Second Session Sunday
Hebrew school is on summer break at Temple Sholom of Ontario. We will continue in the fall hold classes virtually on Sundays starting at 10:00am PT. There will be two sessions, 40 minutes each, with a 10 minute break in between.
Details will follow soon.
Meanwhile, Please join us in person at the synagogue on:
Sunday, July, 2022 (Specific date to be announced) for
Family Learning Day!
We will have age-appropriate sessions for kids and parents and adults.
Music too!
**This is a work-in-progress based on the status of the pandemic and as currently planned. We will alter the format and schedule based on updated information.
We have added a special Hebrew reading crash course for those students not adept in reading Hebrew. It will be from 9:20am to 9:50 am before the regular sessions.
The first session will focus on Hebrew reading and prayers. We will read from the week's Torah portion using a Chumash and an online site. Besides the main prayers used in our services, we will also learn Torah and Haftarah blessings.
The second session will be a general learning session of that weekly sedrah/portion. We will also discuss notable Jewish personalities, from celebrities to prophets and kings. There will also be special topics such as gossip and evolution.
Please let us know if you'd like to join us and of course if you have any questions. RSVP for Zoom links.
Temple Sholom of Ontario is proud to announce we are once again offering:
Next session: Sunday June 12, 2022 @ 11:45am PT
Seventeenth Module: Chapter 16 – Antisemitism
First Module: Chapter 1 – Torah
Miller Intro to Judaism Program
**Due to increased interest, we are starting a new course that will run concurrent with the present course. We will be finished by Rosh Hashanah. The second session will begin immediately following the first. If you are interested in joining, please let us know.
If you're thinking of converting to Judaism: Completion of the Intro Program fulfills the learning requirements for conversion of the Rabbinical Assembly of America. Once you finish the course requirements and secure a sponsoring rabbi, you are eligible to become officially part of the Jewish People.
If you're already Jewish: Whether you were born Jewish but never quite learned what it’s all about, you’re back after a long hiatus, or you’re just looking for a deeper understanding of your heritage, most of us could use a bit of a refresher. Jews from all walks of life enroll in the program: from people who had a Jewish day school education to those whose strongest connection was the annual box of matza on the kitchen counter.
More details to follow. Please let us know if you're interested. Application is attached below or reply with request for more information
