Y'ladim BaTeva
Outdoor Jewish Learning for Kids
Open House for Prospective
Families
Watch for an upcoming date in late summer or contact Rabbi Katy.
Upper Mill Brook Conservation Area and Peace Lutheran
Church
107 Concord Road, Wayland
We'll meet in the back of the parking lot.
For children and adults
We'll take a short walk through the woods and by the pond and you'll get a taste of Ma'yan Tikvah and Y'ladim BaTeva, the outdoor Jewish learning program for chidren. We'll then go indoors for hot tea, hot chocolate, and more conversation, and we'll end with Havdalah, the ceremony that ends Shabbat. Dress for the weather and bring your family and your friends. Please RSVP here.
In the fall of 2018, Ma'yan Tikvah opened an alternative Jewish education program for elementary school age children with a significant outdoor component.
Space is still available.
Registration for fall 2019 coming soon.

Key Features of the

The curriculum focuses on:
-
Jewish values, such as caring for animals, honoring the elderly, caring for ourselves, our families, and our communities, and the Earth, and more;
-
Jewish values embedded in holidays;
-
basic observance of holidays;
-
some Hebrew, for reciting blessings for holidays and eating, and some key words;
-
Bible stories that inform Jewish values;
-
basic prayers for Shabbat; and
-
an optional and additional program individual-paced Hebrew decoding and understanding, using an online program
Meeting times:
-
One Sunday morning a month for three hours, at an outdoor Metrowest location, with the option for being indoors part of the time in winter or bad weather;
-
- Two short weekday afternoon or early evening online video classes per month for reconnecting and reviewing;
-
One family holiday or Shabbat program per month, which may be 1) a Shabbat dinner hosted by one of the families, 2) a morning outdoor service, 3) a Saturday afternoon or early evening family program that is partially outside and partially inside, or 4) a Sunday holiday program.
Materials are provided for family or student activities to be done at home between classes, which may include suggestions for discussions at the Shabbat dinner table and ideas for family field trips.
During the regular classes, students will learn to say Hebrew words, and there will be review of some letters and words written in Hebrew.
The more traditional Hebrew decoding and prayer program will be optional and additional. It will meet 3-4 times per month as an online video class in groups of 1-3 for grades 2-4 only.
