Gesher
6th Grade Gesher Program
Wednesdays from 3:45 – 5:30
& Parent/Student Programs
The word Gesher means “bridge” and our sixth graders will begin taking steps to cross the bridge from childhood to Jewish adulthood. We believe that the family bond helps ease the transition from childhood to adulthood and builds bridges that will lead children to Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Confirmation, Graduation and beyond. We want our 6th Graders and their families to have engaging, relevant, and memorable learning experiences and Gesher is our way to help pave the path and set families on a learning journey together. Gesher students will attend on Wednesdays from 3:45 – 5:30 PM for Jewish Studies and Hebrew Studies. Gesher 6th Graders AND their parents will meet with our Rabbis and our Youth and Family Educators approximately one time per month (Schedule Below!) 6th Graders, together with their parents, will complete a special family project that will be displayed at the conclusion of the year. In addition, special activities for our 6th Grade students only will take place throughout the year!

Memory is a central element in defining modern Jewish identity. As we look to Israel’s future, we need to engage anew with our past and explore its meanings and consequences. Through the consideration of major historic moments, this series grapples with the different ideas and values that shape the meaning of modern Israel, Zionism, and Jewish identity today. This innovative new course explores the pivotal events of 1947 and 1967 – following the 1917 Balfour Declaration – as key moments when Zionism unleashed new thinking about the meaning of Jewishness for generations to come. The course engages Jews in an open and pluralistic discussion about issues of Jewish identity, peoplehood, ethics, and theology, as they relate to nationhood, land, sovereignty, Jerusalem, occupation, and moral red lines. -
