The SIJCC Jewish Learning Center Program
The SIJCC is pleased to announce the creation of a cutting edge, innovative learning program which, like our Preschool, will teach Jewish traditions and culture, while also reflecting our eclectic neighborhood.
SIJCC’s Jewish Learning Center Program is for children starting Kindergarten through Fourth grade. Families who are interested in a class for older children should contact Aynan Morse at ayana@sijcc.net, so we can possibly add to the program in the future.
The class will meet for one and a half hours twice a month on Sunday mornings (9:30-11 am) for ten months. It will be facilitated by Jewish educators. Families will be asked to join the last half hour of class once a month for conjoint learning.
The class will cover Jewish history, holidays, traditions and customs along with basic blessings (to be taught in both Hebrew and English.) Music, art, food and dance will be highlighted in all aspects of the course. In addition, Jewish philosophies such as “Tikkun Olam” or “heal the world,” will be explored. Parents will need to help out by volunteering in the classroom approximately two times a year. Jewish Learning Center families will also help host a Community Center event during the year.
We are pleased to announce the addition of Ayana Morse to our SIJCC staff beginning in July. She will teach and implement the Jewish Learning Center curriculum. Ayana brings over ten years of experience as a Jewish educator and has had the pleasure of working with families and children of all ages. Her work draws on a rich theater background and an interest in creating personal connection to ritual. Prior to coming to the SIJCC, Ayana was the operations director for IKAR. She studied theater education at Emerson College and was a participant in LA Boost. She and her husband, Josh, have lived in Silverlake since 2005 and are excited to be a part of the SIJCC community.
The cost for the year will be $650.
