Kabbetz HaEsrim: For the first time ever Kabbetz, the UMJC regional conference of twenties and thirties, is gathering in Seattle, WA! This year's theme is “Yibaneh HaMikdash: Building our Community,” and with that in mind this weekend promises to be a real opportunity for connection. Come learn from some great teachers, discuss important issues for our generation, and be encouraged to find your place among the community of believers!
Our kids are our life. One of the most important things we can do for them is bring a deep sense of the spiritual richness of Jewish tradition. Our weekly Beit Midrash class is taught in a lively and interactive fashion, allowing the children to be exposed to a few different topic areas each week to build their knowledge and understanding.
Beit HaShofar has developed a new weekday Children's Cheder (Hebrew/Religious School) which will replace our previous educational offering.
This class will be taught in a lively and interactive fashion, allowing the children to be exposed to a few different topic areas each week to build their knowledge and understanding. The goals of this class are:

to develop a knowledge and love of the Jewish holidays, ceremonies, and traditions
to learn basic Hebrew (block letters, nikkud, reading, vocabulary)
to infuse the berachot(blessings) into the daily lives of the children through practice and by showing their meaning and value
to teach the middot (character traits) that will help them to live ethical lives, based on Pirkei Avot, stories and other teaching of our rabbis, and teachings of Messiah Yeshua through the Besorot(Gospels)
to give better understanding about ancient Yisrael and modern day Yisrael through activities and reading
