The course curriculum is a two-year curriculum and incorporates aspects of the former Gan and Kitah Alef curricula. Reading readiness begins. Vocabulary is built by using Hebrew names and holiday vocabulary.
Children explore their identities by examining themselves, their families, and their communities.
Students tour the synagogue, meet people in the congregation, create ritual objects, meet the rabbi, and hear Torah reading during Saturday morning services. Children and families are introduced to home rituals and holiday celebrations. This curriculum is built around holiday observances. They learn Hebrew songs, everyday words, basic prayers like Sh'ma, and participate in children's services. Families learn the basic prayers in a Saturday morning service including Barchu and the Sh'ma.
