Our Educational Philosophy
Education Schedule 2023/24
As an innovative, modern, and exciting Jewish community, Congregation Or Ami is committed to creating youth programs that are relevant and adapted to today’s Jewish learners.
• Kesher means “connection,” and our Kesher Program is designed to foster deep connections among K-6th grade students. By consolidating Judaica and Hebrew learning, we have created an easier schedule for families, while maintaining the same fun, engaging atmosphere for students to learn and grow.
• MAKOM and MAKOM HIGH (formerly known as HUB) provide community and connection to 7th-12th graders. In addition to strengthening their social bonds, teens gain leadership skills by expanding their minds and opening their hearts.
2023-2024 School Year
Kesher began on October 3rd and 4th.
Makom will begin October 25
