Looking Ahead to Rimon 5776!
Temple Sholom's Award-Winning Reform Educational Program
Summer Days....Filled with Lots of Sunshine, Fun and Planning for a New Rimon Year of Learning, Laughter and Friendship!
A Few "Snapshots" of What is Coming for Rimon 5776 for Kindergarten - 12th graders
Rimon Sundays: Kindergarten - 5th grades!
Our Sunday program begins and ends as a kehillah (community)! When students enter the learning space they gather into small groups to greet each other, share highlights of their week, and hear what will be happening during the day. Each day ends as a full Rimon kehillah with parents in the sanctuary.

Hebrew -- 4th - 6th grades
During each year of the Rimon Hebrew program learners encounter the Hebrew of home and holiday prayers, liturgy of the Friday night service, liturgy of the Shabbat morning service, as well as the prayers of the Torah service. Not only will each child learn to read the prayers and blessings, they understand the meaning/purpose of each prayer by developing a personal connection.
Family Learning - Meyuchad!
Meyuchad (the Hebrew word for "special") is the title of our family education program. Our Meyuchad Family program gives every family the opportunity to learn together - Jewishly by offering four Sundays when there is no Rimon. During these days families spend time making Jewish memories. We offer a number of suggestions as well as offer two organized activities during the year. Families learn from each other as they post their experiences on our (closed) Meyuchad blog.
Welcome to Rimon Noar (6th - 12th grades)
At Rimon Noar teens have voice and choice! Although most of our teens would prefer to engage during our Monday night option, others have commitments that prevent them from dong so. No worries! Our new Rimon Noar program offers alternatives to traditional Monday nights. Sunday afternoons with TEAM TZEDEK, Tuesday evenings with the TEEN LEADERSHIP SEMINAR, NFTY weekends and INDEPENDENT STUDY will be offered! If a teen is not Confirmation "bound" we welcome him/her to be a part of our teen community and choose those activities that are of interest.
We also offer NOAR NIGHTS - opportunities for the entire 7th - 12th grade teen community to come together for fun and friendship.
