8th Grade Learning
A NEW class option for our 8th graders! Beth Jacob will be hosting an Our Whole Lives (OWL) course for our 8th graders on Tuesdays along with continued Teen Talmud on Shabbat. Having just completed their b'nai mitzvah training, it is a prime time for these students to dive into more sophisticated topics in Jewish thought.
Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a comprehensive and progressive sexuality education curriculum designed for students in grades 7-9. Developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association to be taught in congregational settings, this course provides honest, accurate information about sexuality in order to dismantle stereotypes and assumptions, build self-acceptance and self-esteem, and foster healthy relationships. Sexual ethics are deeply ingrained in Judaism, and Jewish texts recognize and often celebrate sexuality as a necessary and crucial part of life and development. In addition to the original curriculum (linked here), students will learn about relevant halakha and Jewish traditions. To learn more about OWL education, click here.
Teen Learning (9th-12th grade)
This year we are excited to offer more robust teen learning opportunities. Our high schoolers are encouraged to be part of our newly-revamped Madrichim program. On Saturdays 10am-12pm, teens will help out and serve as dugmaot (role models) in the classrooms.
In addition, we are so excited to be offering another class in partnership with American Jewish University: Jewish Learning Experience this school year during Limudim for our teens. Join D. Marcos from 6:30-7:30 on Tuesdays for an hour of learning, about contemporary halakha and how Jewish practices do and don't fit in with current-day living – and earn college credit too! To register for this class, please fill out the two forms linked below (one for AJU, and one for Beth Jacob).
