Beiteinu – Religion School – Purim fun this week!

The school uses the principles of Informal Education to teach a religious knowledge and Hebrew curriculum to over 50 pupils aged between 5-17. It also has a developing early years’ programme.

The children have a short breaktime – bring fruit for the snack.  There is a short assembly for all children each week, and teaching in year groups.  Music, art and Hebrew teaching feature for children in primary school.

The 12-13 year olds prepare for B’nei Mitzvah, then go on to studying for a GCSE in Jewish Studies, and then complete their Beiteinu experience in the Kabbalat Torah class.

This week we are celebrating the festival of Purim.  Come dressed up as your favourite historical, fantasy, biblical, movie, theatre, book character.  Bring traditional food for the competition – savoury or sweet Hamantaschen, or anything special you normally cook for Purim.  Bring a food donation for the mishloach manot (literally ‘sending of portions’ of food to family, friends, community) to be donated to the Kingston Food Bank.  Everyone will join together for the Family Service, and then after Kiddush, we will be having a Purim-themed HeBrew Cafe and party.
