Pauline Rivkind Talmud Torah | Congregation B'nai Israel

Shehecheyanu!

Yes, really.  We can always find something for which we are grateful - even in these times. May Gd 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 create 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 see each other.  

We’ll continue together with sharing and singing. We’ll talk and then we’ll separate into breakout rooms by grade: Kindergarten and under, Grades 1-2, and grades 3-7.

We’ll come back together for Tefillah. Students will be dismissed and parents will have an opportunity to share your needs and concerns. Parent support over coffee, tea, or wine? We can do that!

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. 

Materials needed:

• Device for tuning in: If there are multiple children in your house in different breakout rooms, try to create some family distance between devices to eliminate as much extra sounds and movement. If you’re having trouble, let me know in the Zoom chat box or text me at 847-331-3048.
• Paper and markers for answering questions or drawing and holding up to screen: pencil and pen cannot be seen on the video.

We’re ready for some Jewish community! Make sure you bring your patience while we figure it out!

Warm Regards,
Maureen Sechan

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.
