Parents and Students:  Don’t miss this exciting first day of Religious School.

 

There will be a bagel brunch for all to enjoy.  At our opening assembly we will discuss all of the new and exciting programs we are introducing this year.

We will explore ways in which you can be a part of your child’s Jewish education.  We encourage each family to find one way to get involved with our religious school.  Your commitment helps build our community.

Students will attend their first day of class.  Don’t worry.  If you have not registered yet, there will be on site registration.

Please consider bringing non-perishable food (preferably nutritional canned items) to the HCRJ office through the High Holy Days to be donated to the Turning Point Center.  There will be a basket at the entrance for your convenience.

Welcome Back Religious School families!

The new school year is just around the corner.  The HCRJ teachers cannot wait to see all of the smiling faces of your children and watch them reconnect with each other.  We have a fantastic year ahead filled with fun, friendship and fabulous programs!

For our youngest learners, our Torah Tots program is back by popular demand, under the guidance of Missy Bernosky.  We look forward to the addition of a 6th grade B’nai Mitzvah retreat this year, and are welcoming the largest confirmations class ever at HCRJ.  We are thrilled with the success of our Ozrim program and will continue to offer a training program to our 10th graders as a part of that program.  We will also be offering bimonthly opportunities for our 11th an d 12th graders to connect with Rabbi Gross and get prepared for life on campus.

Michelle Renfrow can’t wait to share more about our exciting  middle and high school youth group events.  Our events will be both local and regional; and there will be so many chances for our kids to connect.

We invite you to share your enthusiasm for our school  with friends and family.  Please invite anyone who may be interested to attend our Opening Day of Religious School on August 30th.  If you have not yest registered for Religious School, please do so by clicking here.

We look forward to seeing you!
