THE TEMPLE RELIGIOUS SCHOOL May 2015 / Iyar 5775 Dear Parents, I am extremely delighted and excited to share with you the registration materials for the 2015-2016 Religious School year! This year we will begin school between the High Holy Days. The first day of Sunday School will be September 20 and Hebrew School (4th-6th grades) will begin the week of September 28 th. Our guiding Jewish value at the Temple Religious School is kehillah kedoshah- creating a holy community among our students, families and teachers. We want everybody in our congregation and our school to feel at home when they are here. We will have many opportunities and experiences throughout the year to build connections through learning, growing and having fun together. There s a catch though: we cannot do any of this alone. We believe that your partnership is essential in everything we do at the Temple. In order to raise children who are both knowledgeable and proud of being Jewish we must work as a team. The clergy and educational staff at the Temple are always available to answer questions, listen to feedback and work hard to ensure every child in our school is successful. There will also be dozens of opportunities for you to broaden and deepen your own connection to Judaism. Look for grade-level family programs, adult education classes, including Hebrew, as well as Shabbat and holiday family experiences throughout the year. Enclosed with this letter are the registration materials needed to enroll your child for the 2015-2016 school year. Completed forms and a minimum of 1/3 of the total fees are due by July 1 with all the fees due by September 25. If you have questions about registration or our program, please do not hesitate to contact me at The Temple: email: rabbishulman@templenashville.org or work phone: 615-352-7620 As we work together to create the highest quality learning experiences for our children, we look forward to a year filled with more connections, deeper understandings, laughter and joy. B shalom, with peace, Rabbi Michael Shulman, RJE Director of Education and Next Generation Programs
