Sacramento
Jewish Academy |
| Ages
5-12 |
The Chabad Hebrew School is an innovative
school that provides an academic and enjoyable environment
where children acquire a broad knowledge of Judaism through
a stimulating and challenging venue. Through Hebrew reading,
writing, Jewish history, holidays and more, our students gain
an appreciation for the joys, values and traditions of our
heritage as it is vividly brought to life by our dedicated
and enthusiastic teachers whose creativity and dynamism make
every lesson a unique learning experience. Our program includes
the "Jewish Hero Series," a fun action-packed card
collection series, in which the children gain opportunity
to learn about our heroes and how they can be role models
for us today.
A child equipped with a Torah education
and a feeling for Judaism’s beautiful teachings, traditions,
and historical lessons, is a child better equipped to face
the awesome moral challenges of today’s society.
Our school’s underlying approach
is for the children to enjoy the time spent at Hebrew School
so that they are left with positive experiences and a greater
appreciation for Jewish education. Our program is thus carefully
blended with games, incentives, crafts, dramatics, family
celebrations and other exciting extra curricular activities.

Hey Kids! Be a part of a great new
youth club! This unique club gives you the opportunity to
make the world a better place! You and other Jewish kids from
ages 8-11 can join together, once a month, for mitzvot and
fun! Besides all the great activites, you will be part of
a social action adventure like helping the elderly, wrapping
gifts for hospitalized children, etc. Remember! You're a kid,
so have some fun, but you're old enough to make a difference
too!

Many
people think a Bat Mitzvah is just a Bar Mitzvah for girls.
No Way! A Jewish girl possesses a unique identity, which she
shares with all Jewish women from around the glove and throughout
3,000 years of history. Becoming Bat Mitzvah means more than
a beautiful party. It’s the beginning of a lifelong
process of doing more – more learning, more feeling,
more thinking, and more being you.
We meet the first Monday of every month, from 7:15-8:15 at
the home of Rebbetzin Dinie Cohen, beginning Sept. 22nd, 2003
The
Bat Mitzvah Club brings girls together, and helps Bat
Mitzvah girls of today grow into Jewish women of tomorrow.
Through interesting learning and fun activities, you
will make new discoveries about yourself and the meaning
of Bat Mitzvah. The Bat Mitzvah Club is an organization
for girls, by girls, starring girls. You arrange the
activities and schedules, and you run the meeting by
holding positions such as master of ceremonies, hostess,
speaker, song leader, treasurer and photographer.
Club
members meet monthly, enjoy special trips, make crafts
and projects, explore creative reading and writing,
take part in discussions, join a pen pal program and
have a great time. Members can also earn club merits
by reporting meaningful actions they perform. With enough
club merits you can earn jewelry and other great prizes.
When
you become a member, you are building a future for a
Jewish tomorrow. Your personal progress and good achievements
will change you and the world around you. In the Bat
Mitzvah Club you will experience ever-growing knowledge
and pride in being Jewish, female and a new adult. Joining
any club involves choice, but you can be sure that joining
the Bat Mitzvah Club is the right choice.
Registration
for Bat Mitzvah Club will start September 1st. Our first
Club meeting will be Mid-September or early October.

Parents,
you can enjoy every moment spent in our Chabad Synagogue,
knowing that your child is in good hands while you pray. Junior
Minyan provides the children with a wonderful Shabbat program
including Tefillah, games and prizes, allowing their parents
to pray without disruption. So don’t hesitate —
bring the children to Chabad on Shabbat and we’ll keep
them entertained while you’re in the synagogue. And
of course we’ll return them to you when services are
over so that they can enjoy the Kiddush at Chabad with the
family.
Every Shabbat, 11:00-12:00
