class to B'nai Mitzvah

several times through the year.

April 11 - Alef and Gan Alef paticipate in Friday night
services
Gan Alef
The Gan Alef class for children ages 4 and 5 meets
16 times this year (including religious school special occasions).
Due to the size of the Gan Alef class, the 4's and 5's
will meet on separate Sundays. The planned activities will be the same for both
the 4's and 5's classes. On certain Sundays, especially holidays, all Gan Alef
students will meet during the same class. See the schedule below for specific
dates when Gan Alef meets.
