Introduction

At Shir Tikvah our youth education program is called Nashira, let us sing.  We believe strongly in experiential learning and strive to create meaningful  opportunities for the whole family to engage in Jewish learning.

At Nashira you might sing Hebrew songs with your toddler on your lap, study the birkat hamazon beside your fourth grader, or discuss Jewish ethics with Rabbi Ariel.  Your child might create and paint a wooden  mezuzah, learn the Aleph Bet through movement, or discover that  homemade matzah is  pretty tasty.  Both you and your children will find yourselves part of a warm, welcoming community that embraces Jewish learning at every level.

The goal of  Nashira is to nurture participation, foster responsibility, and grow Jewish families who view Judaism as a vital presence in all aspects of their lives.

Nashira is comprised of Sunday morning classes, Shabbatonim, and holiday-centered events and workshops for toddlers  through high school students and their families.
