The Na’aseh V'nishma program is a two-year program for junior high school students that combines classroom learning with active participation in Mitzvah work in the community. We will use the texts "It’s a Mitzvah...Step by Step Guide to Jewish Living" and “Jewish Heroes, Jewish Values.” This course takes up several key themes for early adolescence and teaches values that are essential in the development of Jewish adults. Our overall goal is to expand the students’ Jewish knowledge through experiential learning and commitment to mitzvot. Class Meeting Times: Class will be in session from 12 noon - 2:30 p.m. on regularly scheduled meeting days. Because we wish to start promptly at noon, we ask that students arrive by 11:55 a.m. Due to some wonderful opportunities some sessions may meet at different times. Please note the sessions that have different meeting times. Tzedakah: Each session, students are welcome to bring money for Tzedakah. The money will be dispersed to various mitzvah sites, based on student recommendations. Class Attendance: Student attendance is essential in order to form a community and get all of the connections to this full-bodied program. Homework will be sent after each absence, so that students remain well-informed as to what they’ve missed. Field trips, speakers and special activities cannot be made up, therefore we hope families will make every effort to make attendance a priority. We ask that families also make an effort to refrain from planning Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations for times that conflict with scheduled programs. Na’aseh
