Chavurah - 8th Grade

We welcome our 8th grade students to participate in a Teaching Assistant training program entitled “Chavurah,” Hebrew for “a group of friends.” The Chavurah program allows our youngest teens to gain experience teaching and helping our Religious School students on Sunday mornings from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.

Facilitated by Cantor Robin and mentored by our older T.A.s, our 8th graders learn what it means not only to teach, but to encourage, build confidence, and share in the education process with our students.

Combined with their own growth and training, our Chavurah students develop the skills they need to be full-fledged Teaching Assistants in their high school years. A paid honorarium is given at the end of the year.

Open to members. Contact the Temple Office for more information.
