To teach the skills necessary to enable our children to enjoy the richness of Jewish life, thereby creating a meaningful experience that will empower them throughout their lives.

We endeavor to touch children spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and creatively, thereby ensuring a greater love and commitment to Judaism as they mature.

• Daven (pray) / lead Shabbat evening and morning services
  Prepare for and participate in significant life cycle events such as Bar / Bat Mitzvah
• Read Hebrew with fluency
• Fully understand and celebrate all the Jewish holidays
• Discuss biblical text and its relevance
• Appreciate the importance of Eretz Yisrael (the land of Israel)

N'vonim is a class for students with day school or high level Hebrew experience (5th – 7th graders), who need to fulfill the requirements of Sinai Temple's bar/bat mitzvah policy. Students must test into the class. (This course is required for students who leave Sinai Akiba Academy and still wish to have their bar/bat mitzvah at Sinai Temple.) If students do not test into the N'vonim class, according to the requirement they will have the opportunity to go into religious school (Wednesdays and Sundays).

When: 6 Sundays per year 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and Wednesdays 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
