INTRODUCTION TO JUDAISM AT BETH MEIER
Were your Hebrew School years not all they could have been when it came to learning about Judaism? Would you like to take a thought-provoking and in-depth American Jewish University course right here at Beth Meier? Maybe you or someone you know is interested in conversion to Judaism?
If you or someone you know can say "yes" to any of those questions, then you need to sign up for the Beth Meier, East Valley Cycle of the Miller Introduction to Judaism Program.
Taught for 18 weeks starting on Wednesday, November 2nd at 6:30pm, this class will introduce you to the history, culture and language of Judaism. Approved by the Rabbinical Assembly of Conservative Judaism, it meets the requirement to study in preparation for conversion to Judaism. And it is an official Continuing Education offering of the AJU. A valuable experience for all who take it.
To register or for more information, call 310-440-1273 or email intro@ajula.edu.
I look forward to studying with you!
Rabbi Aaron Benson

YOUTH PROGRAMS AT BETH MEIER
 Get your child involved in the following programs. Fill out and return the membership and school registration forms to get your child enrolled, or call our office for more information. Please note arrangements can be made for special situations and a discount is available to families with more than one student enrolled with us. Giving your children a quality Jewish education is a mitzvah!
RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
For children ages six to eight. Classes start in September on Sundays, from 9:30 to 11:30AM, to May. Your child will get all the basic building blocks required for his/her further Jewish education. The curriculum includes music, arts and crafts, Bible stories, holiday activities and more. By the end of the year your child will know, in addition to the aleph-bet, a vocabulary of Hebrew words and songs, and major themes of Jewish worship and observance, and that being Jewish includes living an honest, respectful, and moral life.
HEBREW SCHOOL
For children ages nine to thirteen. Classes start in September and are held Sunday for advanced and intermediate student. These studies focus more on learning the liturgy, not only how to read the prayers in Hebrew, but also on the meanings of the prayers. The Hebrew vocabulary should expand during these years just as the students’ immersion in the study of Jewish holidays, Biblical and Rabbinic stories, and lessons for conducting a good and noble Jewish life continue. By the end of his or her Hebrew School years, a student will be well prepared for his or her Bar or Bat Mitzvah. |
