Do you want your child to:

• learn about, their Judaism in a fun, laughter filled environment
• be encouraged to ask questions, challenge and be challenged
• create life-long Jewish friendships
• learn in an egalitarian environment where every child is valued and appreciated for who they are

If you answered yes to any of these questions then the TEW Beit Midrash is for you!
We cater for students from grade one to seven  on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

What do we teach:
Our regular  curriculum aims to instil in the students, a love of Judaism and connection with their faith and tradition. Through the study of texts and stories the students complete their years with us eager to learn more and to recognise that this is the beginning of a lifetime of growing, learning and studying. Alongside our Jewish studies curriculum we have a wonderful Hebrew programme which teaches the basics of prayer book Hebrew, leading the students to their time of b'nai mitzvah. We also set aside time each morning for prayer and discussion of current events and festivals which occur regularly in our calendar.

As well as out regular activities we have a number of special family days, Shabbat dinners and other social activities whereby parents and students can meet and get to know one another better.
We would love to have your children join us for this most important time in their lives, to learn and grow, create social connections with other students which will last a lifetime, and experience all the beauty and wonder that Judaism has to offer.

KINDY-YEAR 1
An exciting introduction to the world of Judaism and Hebrew, together we build a foundation for the ongoing Jewish education of the students with a variety of experiences in holidays, songs and artwork. The students learn to read and recognise the Hebrew alphabet.

Continued study about the customs and celebrations that mark the Jewish year and the building of core Jewish values. We study different aspects of the Jewish lifecycle and Jewish history. The students continue to study Hebrew and develop the necessary skills in reading and the culture of Modern Israel through Hebrew songs .

YEAR 5
The students will develop an appreciation of the various festivals and Shabbat and the skills necessary to observe the rituals of these celebrations. Consistent Hebrew reading practice develops the students fluency of language and the students are encouraged to express themselves in simple Hebrew sentences.

Historical focus reflects the diversity of Jewish History through a dynamic study of personalities and their contribution to Jewish life. Continued study of festivals and values includes linking these with modern issues. Emphasis is placed on the development of Hebrew vocabulary with the goal of reading texts with comprehension.
