Our fourth grade students participate in a Shul-under at The Temple in February. From 5:30-9:30pm on Saturday night. Participants get to know other fourth grade students and begin to feel “at home” in The Temple. There are no Sunday morning classes for fourth graders the next day.
We are overjoyed to introduce a new overnight travel experience for our fifth graders this spring. On this very special trip, fifth graders will travel to Northest Georgia for an overnight Shabbat, social action and social trip. Beginning with their first overnight hotel stay, fifth graders will celebrate erev Shabbat through music, games, and programming. On Saturday morning they will wake up for a social action project in the area, and end the day at a local amusement center. Most of all, students will get to know their classmates better, participate in creative Jewish programming, and spend time having fun.
