Learning at

Shaare Tefila Congregation…,

What a Chavaya (Experience)!

At Chavaya Our Goals Are:

* To inspire a passion for learning about and participating in Jewish life through experiential, hands-on, inquiry-based learning.

* To form positive Jewish memories with other Jewish students and their families.

* To strive for spiritually as students and families in order to renew our connection with the greater Jewish community.

* To gain a solid foundation of Jewish Holiday, Shabbat and Life Cycle traditions.

* To incorporate Jewish values, as well as practices with an eye towards modern sensitivities.

* To foster a connection to the people of Israel and the land of Israel.

* To actively engage in Learning Torah, social action, and tzedekah .

* To teach children the tools they need to build for themselves a Jewish identity and solid knowledge base from which to lead actively Jewish lives and to be the next generation of Jewish leaders.
