Efshar

Our  self-contained classroom for special needs students is perfect for those who desire pursuing a Jewish education in a format that recognizes and accommodates the student’s individual needs and abilities.  This class is specifically suited for students that cannot be mainstreamed into our traditional program, predominantly targeting children on the Autism spectrum.

The Efshar (Possibilities) Program:

• Meets weekly 
• Geared toward students ages 7-12 
• The specific curricular focus for this class is “Discovering the Realm of Jewish Living,”   which includes an investigation of Jewish holidays, rituals and practices 
• We engage and stimulate the students through the use of  stories, music, art and hands on projects  

Our objectives with this group are not only to instill a basic sense of understanding and familiarity with various aspects of Judaism and Jewish practice, but to also help develop a sense of community belonging.
