This year, our application season is beginning earlier than in the past and applications are now open! New students may apply by clicking HERE. Current students do not need to confirm their re-enrollment at this time; their spots will be held until our reverification process later in the year.

While applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, we anticipate that the Toddler class will fill quickly and there are a limited number of spots in Latchkey.

Please reach out with any questions. We’re excited to welcome new students to Farber! Spread the word to families who might be interested in joining our community or let us know HERE if there is a family who we should reach out to.

When shopping at any Toyology location, please mention Farber ECC. The ECC will receive 20% in store credit. When the money adds up we can go and buy new toys and games for the ECC.

PARSHAT BO

Rabbi Ira Kosowsky

Much of the פסח story is contained in our פרשׁה this week, פרשׁת בא. Pesach is very much a holiday rooted in tradition. I believe that more Jews will attend a פסח סדר than any other Jewish ritual. If this is true, we might guess that the reasons are connected to family, nostalgia, longing for relatives who are no longer with us, but whose traditions yet live on at the פסח סדר.

WELCOME TO FARBER!!

HEBREW ACADEMY OF MONTREAL

COLUMBUS TORAH ACADEMY

DENVER ACADEMY OF TORAH

ATLANTA JEWISH ACADEMY

PITTSBURGH HILLEL

and of course FARBER!!!

LEARNING ABOUT THE PLAGUES

N4 has been spending the past 2 weeks learning all about and doing projects related to the plagues in the Parshiot of the past 2 weeks. They will use all that they have learned again in a few short weeks when they begin learning about Pesach!

5TH GRADE CEREAL BOX BOOK REPORTS

Mrs. Howes' 5th graders completed their Non- Fiction cereal box reports. In a cereal box format, the students had to make up a cereal name related to their topic, define vocabulary words and give fascinating facts about the topic. So much creativity!!!

MS KAHOOT

The Bnot Sherut, Roni and Ravid, prepared a Tu Bishvat Kahoot in honor of Rosh Chodesh Shvat covering halachic, historical and environmental aspects of Tu Bishvat.
