Key Features of the

Jewish Outdoor Adventure School

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

   

• 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 will be provided for family or student activities to be done at home between classes, including 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 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.

Details about scheduling will be coming soon.
