PRTT's current response to COVID-19
Shehecheyanu!
We will be back in person! And we will be back virtually! We can always find something for which we are grateful - even in these times when a quick response to changes is required. May God continue to grant us life and sustain us through these times as we create a new learning space together: students, parents, and teachers. As we rediscover community and at the same time strengthen our online community, we will stretch our imaginations about what our Jewish world at CBI looks like right now. The most important thing is to take care of each other and to be together when we can and to continue growing Jewishly.
Our task force is providing guidelines, and we will do our best to pivot quickly to the changes we need to make in order to promote health and safety. We will gather outdoors in our playground and courtyard spaces, weather and heat permitting, during more active phases of viral cases. During inclement weather and mornings with a high heat index, we will meet in larger areas of CBI: our social hall, sanctuary and atrium. Our virtual school will continue in a similar fashion as last year with a different Zoom link provided to registered students.
In-person Sunday sessions for grades Kindergarten through 7 will meet in person from 9:30 to 12:00. Virtual sessions will meet in the same time period with grade levels meeting for 75 minutes. Grades 3 to 7 will have an hour of on-line Hebrew and Tefillah (prayer) on Wednesdays between 4:30 and 6:00. Students will be placed in small groups according to Hebrew skill level. An in-person midweek Hebrew opportunity will be available for families for whom virtual learning is too difficult.
We know this is a frenetic time - with more demands on you than ever before. Please head over to PRTT on Facebook to stay up to speed with what we are doing.
We’re ready for some Jewish community! We've got this!
PRTT: Makom Sheli!
PRTT: The Place for Me!
Warm Regards,
Maureen Sechan
Please Note: CBI uses an Annual Financial Commitment model rather than a yearly synagogue dues model. Religious School tuition is complimentary to members, requiring just the Educational Programming and Supply Fee. Families can register for Religious School as non members, too. Please contact our administrative office if you'd like to learn more details about our AFC model.

Pauline Rivkind Talmud Torah Religious School
Congregation B’nai Israel welcomes you to our Pauline Rivkind Talmud Torah Religious School! We are excited to partner with you to ensure that your child continues to build a rich foundation of Jewish knowledge in our warm and nurturing environment.
We recognize that children have differing learning styles. At CBI, we are committed to helping every student reach their full potential by providing experiences and instruction sensitive to the unique motivation and spark that exists in every child. Classroom experiences rely on art, movement, journaling, and multi-media techniques to engage our learners.
Throughout our curriculum of Hebrew, Bible, History, and Holidays we continually seek to reinforce our special relationship to our faith and to each other by identifying the common thread of Torah and ethics. We place special emphasis on Tefillah (Prayer) and Tzedakah (Righteousness) to further enhance that goal.
We are very excited to have you join our community, and we take our mission seriously: from generation to generation, CBI leaves no-one behind! We welcome family participation in our school, and we look forward to getting to know you!
Email our Director of Lifelong Learning, Maureen Sechan, for information on how to register your child or call 727.381.4900 ext 1011.
