Introduction

Shir Tikvah values youth education as vital to the community’s growth and future.

Youth education focuses on development of Jewish identity through exposure to Jewish values, participation in Jewish tradition, and learning Jewish history.

The goal of Shir Tikvah’s youth education program, Nashira (literally “we sing”), is to nurture participation, foster responsibility, and grow Jewish young adults who view Judaism as a vital presence in all aspects of their lives.

Nashira is comprised of Sunday morning classes, quarterly Saturday Shabbatonim and holiday-centered events for kindergarten-age through high school students.

Shalom Nashira families!

Nashira Education Project registration time for all Shir Tikvah children in grades Pre K-12 has arrived!

The year 5770 (2009-2010) will see more exciting changes in our ever-evolving learning project for our children of all ages. One thing will not change – we will still have fun while we learn. Our learning theme for 5770 is Kehillah - Community.
