TWO YEARS FREE for children ages 5-10
VBI offers Hebrew school instruction from nursery school through Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
The school is tuition-free to children of synagogue members. Non-members pay a small fee.
There is a $50 fee, per child, for books and supplies.
All classes are taught on Sundays, 9:30A.M.-12:30 P.M.
The children in each section learn together and support one another. In this way, they learn to respect each other, to work through problems and challenges together, and to treat each other as they would like to be treated. While formal education is stressed, there is also time for arts and crafts and music. Since all children learn at different rates and respond to different approaches, each child is taught at his/her level with much individual attention. In addition to Hebrew language instruction, children are taught the traditions of the holidays, prayers, and Bible stories. All children enrolled in the Hebrew school are required to help lead services on the second Friday night of the month for the family service in the main sanctuary.
Nursery School & Kindergarten Class
We offer a 1 hour nursery/pre-K/Kindergarten program for children 3-6 years old. It is offered Sunday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 conveniently at the same time as the Adult Education Class. All parents are welcome to attend the adult education class as well. The syllabus for this fall will be Jewish Theology; what we believe about God, good and evil, what being a "chosen" people really means, and many other interesting topics.
