Mitzvah Bears

We are beginning a project called "WAY TO GO," to help encourage students to make the world a kinder place by filling the bears with kindness.

This year we are totally changing our structure and creating a whole-school approach to teaching the curriculum. Our goal is to meet every child where THEY are and guide them to the successful acquisition of Jewish learning.
 
 
  
One of the keys to a successful religious education is the involvement and commitment of the entire family to Jewish living.  Please be an active partner!. Be present at programs, attend services as a family, and make CBOI an extension of your home,
 
With your help, we will continue trying to touch the lives of our children and their families and help them to become the next generation of committed members of the Jewish community.
 
We respect your ideas and input. We want to hear from you! 

Students attend class 2 times a week. Classes meet Wednesday from 5pm until 6:30 PM and Sunday from 9:15 AM until 12:30 PM. 

Our School emphasizes equally the study of Siddur Hebrew, Prayer and Liturgy, as well as Jewish ethics, history, Bible and Jewish customs and ceremonies.  Jewish identity is stressed. The children study the “how and why” of our holidays and celebrate Jewish life cycle experiences. The newest and most up-to-date materials are used.  A multi-media approach is offered to add to our students’ excitement of learning about being Jewish. We teach each child according to their own individual needs.

Formal Hebrew instruction begins in third grade with heavy emphasis on developing fluency in Hebrew decoding skills.  From there, the student is guided in reinforcing and building their Hebrew skills with a Siddur Hebrew approach. A progressive vocabulary expands from lesson to lesson.

Our hard-earned reputation for excellence is maintained in our Prayer Program.  Students master competency in the Prayer Book and Passover Hagaddah so that they can feel at home in any synagogue.

Emphasis has been placed on involving the family and home in our children’s progress and programs.

The complete curriculum is available in print, upon request.
