SUMMARY:Information Session (Zoom): Or Zarua partnering with 92Y ATiD Hebre
 w School
DESCRIPTION:Congregation Or Zarua launches partnership with the 92Y ATiD He
 brew School. Special member's tuition rate\, and priceless Hebrew and Jewi
 sh heritage education in a larger community context on Tuesday afternoons 
 for kids K-7th grade. Sixth and seventh graders may add Monday afternoon\,
  to study Torah\, Hebrew and Israel with Rabbi Bolton.\n\nInformation Sess
 ion Thursday\, May 14 at 7:00 PM (via Zoom)\n\nDear Or Zarua Community\,
 \n\nWe are excited to share an important and energizing update about the f
 uture of Jewish education and synagogue connection at Or Zarua.\n\nWe are 
 proud to announce a new partnership with the 92nd Street Y’s ATiD progra
 m—an innovative\, high-quality Jewish learning experience designed to en
 gage students in meaningful\, developmentally appropriate ways while stren
 gthening their connection to Jewish life and community.\n\nWhat this means
  for Or Zarua families:\n\n 	Or Zarua will continue to have a Hebrew Schoo
 l. This partnership enhances—not replaces—our commitment to Jewish edu
 cation and insures our children benefit from both excellent classroom lear
 ning\, the wider Jewish social scene\, and deep synagogue connection.\n 	T
 hrough ATiD on Tuesday afternoons at the 92Y\, students will participate i
 n a dynamic Jewish learning program with experienced educators\, small c
 lass sizes and a thoughtful\, grade-based curriculum that builds Jewish id
 entity\, literacy\, and values. Hebrew instruction is integrated into the 
 program. A new director has recently updated and enhanced the AtiD curricu
 la and brings years of educational leadership to her role.\n 	Being part o
 f the 92nd Street Y will help enlarge the student cohort\, creating a more
  vibrant and dynamic peer group while still maintaining small class sizes 
 for individualized attention.\n 	The cost will be in line with what our Or
  Zarua families have been paying\, with discounted tuition available throu
 gh the partnership\, a benefit to shul members.\n 	Families will remain cl
 osely connected to Or Zarua through synagogue life and Shabbat events for 
 families.\n\nRabbi Bolton has thoughtfully designed a Monday experience so
  that students may add a second day to their Jewish education - “Parsha 
 &amp\; Pizza\, Hebrew\, Israel &amp\; Torah Trope" for sixth and seventh 
 graders. Eighth-grade and High School students will be able to learn Jewis
 h History &amp\; Parsha once a month with the rabbi over dinner. We seek t
 o deepen connections through Family Shabbat Experiences\, as well.\n\nTo 
 learn about what's to come\, we invite you to join us for a ZOOM informat
 ion session Thursday\, May 14 at 7:00 PM.\n\nThis session will include th
 e Director of ATiD\, Rachel Arcus-Goldberg\, and Rabbi Bolton who will sha
 re insights into the program and answer any questions.\n\nWe look forward 
 to having you join us on May 14 and to embarking on this exciting next cha
 pter together.\n\nWarmly\,\n\nHannah Kranich\n\nRabbi Bolton
