Congregation
B’nai Shalom Religious School Service Requirements
•
Who? B’nai Shalom Religious School
students (grades 3-7). For grades 3-6, the requirement will
be handled through the school. For grade 7, the requirement is still
monitored and defined by Hazzan Dinkin. Students in younger grades
and Day School Students are encouraged to attend, too!
•
What? 10 services during the 2003-4
school year. (Additional occasions will be given for double service
points.)
•
Where? Service attendance may be fulfilled
by any B’nai Shalom Shabbat or holiday service.
•
When? See the schedule of Youth Shabbat
services above. A party will be held on the last Youth Shabbat (in
May) for those who have completed their requirement by that date.
•
Why? To enjoy Shabbat with friends.
To sing the songs you learned at camp. To have fun. To give Hazzan
Dinkin a great surprise when you show up for that first bar/bat
mitzvah lesson and know practically the entire service.
•
How? To facilitate completion of this
requirement, we are starting a Youth Shabbat program with age-appropriate
services…
Youth
Shabbat Programs
Derekh
Shabbat: Grades 1-3
Derekh
Shabbat (“The Path to Shabbat”) is intended for students
in grades 1 through 3. Students may attend with parents or alone.
This professionally led service will introduce children to Shabbat
morning prayers with a short service and activities appropriate
for the weekly Torah reading or next holiday.
Junior
Shabbat: Grades 4-6
Junior Shabbat is a prayer community for students in grades 4 though
6. Students will be guided through an abbreviated traditional
service, teaching melodies and explaining prayers. Students will
receive opportunities to lead prayers and practice their skills.
The environment will be one that emphasizes questioning, proper
Shabbat behavior, and the celebratory nature of Shabbat.
