SUMMARY:Kesher (Pre-K–6th Grade) ⏺️
DESCRIPTION:Kesher is Hebrew for "connection\," and connection is at the center of everything we do. Kesher is Ahavath Achim Synagogue's Jewish school program for children Pre-K through 6th grade. \nThe Kesher program meshes Jewish holidays and values and children's interests into a child-centered\, project-based curriculum. We believe in teaching children to view relationships and interactions with others and the environment through the lens of ten Jewish values (listed below). We create confident and curious Jewish learners in a safe space where they can take risks\, question\, play\, learn\, explore\, engage\, create\, make meaning\, and love. We foster the child's sense of Jewish self-discovery by providing a nurturing environment where each person can explore and create their own identity. \nThe Kesher program is generously endowed by the Judith and Aaron z"l Alembik Ahavath Achim Youth Education Program.

SUMMARY:Nesiah (7th–9th Grade) ⏺️
DESCRIPTION:Nesiah\, Hebrew for "journey\," is Ahavath Achim Synagogue's on-the-move program for 7th through 9th-grade students. Nesiah runs on a triennial curriculum\, each year exploring a defining era in Jewish history and culminating with a memorable trip. The curriculum is uniquely designed to the needs of day school students and public-school students alike.
