Santa Monica Synagogue (SMS) B'Yachad: Jewish Family Learning

SMS B?Yachad: Jewish Family Learning is the Santa Monica Synagogue?s program of religious education for youth and families. Synagogue members and their children meet together on Sunday mornings once a month to learn about the Torah, the history of Judaism, Jewish values and traditions, and the Hebrew language. Led by Rabbi Shira Freidlin and supported by Madrichim (tutors) drawn from our teens, the interactive Sunday sessions use the Jewish holidays as the starting point for explorations of all things Jewish. We encourage parents (and grandparents) to participate along with their children, and each session includes opportunities for adults to share their experiences with their children as well as opportunities for smaller groups to address themes in age-appropriate ways.
