THE SCHOOL AT SHIR LIBEYNU
|
|
Registration is now open for the
2019/20 SESSIONS OF THE SCHOOL AT SHIR LIBEYNU:
Supplemental Jewish Learning Program
(children ages 7-11) and Bnei Mitzvah (Grade 6+).
Supplemental Jewish Learning Program (ages 7-11)
This Jewish learning program starts September 15. It meets on Sundays, 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m., at a central location. An optional Hebrew language component is available from 9:15-9:45 a.m.
Sessions are organized to familiarize children with our vibrant tradition of Torah study. The year, our innovative curriculum will include Jewish music and focus on the roles of women in Jewish history.
Class Schedule
The fee for the fall session is $595 (slightly higher for PayPal/credit cards).
Families who register a child at full fee in one of Shir Libeynu's fall learning programs receive
a 5% discount for siblings. We have l
imited spaces available.
Bnei Mitzvah Program (Grade 6+)
Our next bnei mitzvah program starts in fall 2019. It runs mainly on Sunday mornings, at a central location.
The program is a stimulating, year-long series of classes, excursions and socializing that usually precedes the young person becoming a bar/bat mitzvah with Shir Libeynu. Families who wish their children to
become a bar or bat mitzvah
with the shul must enroll them in this program well in advance of the ceremony.
The fee for the program is $800 (slightly higher for PayPal/credit cards). We have limited spaces available.
Our administrator,
Natalie Wallach
, can help you with any questions about our learning programs and walk you through the steps to planning a bar/bat mitzvah simcha with the shul.

Contact Elections Canada
The Federal Court has ordered Elections Canada to reconsider whether the federal election should be moved from October 21, 2019, as it falls on Shemini Atzeret, a Jewish holiday.
If the election isn't moved, thousands of Jews may be unable to vote, and observant Jewish candidates will be unable to compete properly.
B'nai Brith Canada is trying to get as many people as possible to contact Elections Canada to ensure they make the right decision and change the election date.
