Core Concepts 

• Learn the history of the modern State of Israel

• Special programs and events that bring Israel to our 6th graders using experiential education techniques

• Recognizing the role of our community in supporting us during significant moments in our live

Our 6th grades students will focus primarily on the modern State of Israel and will learn about all of the wonderful, and sometimes not so wonderful, aspects of life in Israeli society today. They will learn the history of how the State came to be, through the Palestinian-Israeli conflict of today. Learning will take place through discussion, video, food and movies.

Also, during our 6th grade program our children continue their Hebrew Language Journey and by the end of the year will continue to gain familiarity and fluency with the blessings: Torah blessings, Haftarah blessings, V’ahavta, Kiddush, Aleinu, and Kaddish.

Skype Hebrew Tutoring & Hebrew Pods

Skype Hebrew tutoring will be offered to all 6th and 7th graders who opt in to the new Lomed B’Yachad (Learning Together) program. 

Weekly skype tutoring will also be offered for an additional minimal fee to any CBY student who wants extra support and Hebrew tutoring in addition to what is taught at the JID program.

Hebrew Pods is a new way of teaching Hebrew that was piloted last year. The purpose is to create small groups of students who will meet together with a teacher for a shorter period of time. This will give us more time for JID learning and shorter, but more intense and personal Hebrew learning. All students in the JID program will be pulled out of the JID class for their Hebrew pod.
