“My task is not to debate whether I’m a Jew or not, but to figure out what kind of Jew I am. For me, finding a secular Jewish community with progressive politics fits my version of that identity.”
Jewish Cultural Sunday School (Shule)
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN FOR SHULE!
____________________________________
Our Jewish Cultural Sunday School engages children grades K-7 in an exploration of Jewish identity rooted in Jewish cultural literacy and traditions of social justice. Through an educational experience based on both classroom learning and community building, the Sunday School (Shule in Yiddish) curriculum emphasizes Jewish history, culture and progressive ideals that shape our identity and values as a people.
We are proud to be a school community where families from a wide variety of religious and ethnic backgrounds, both Jewish and non-Jewish, feel welcome and participate in all levels of the organization. We are also proud to be an open and affirming community for LGBTQ families.
In a typical year, Shule meets on Sunday mornings 22 times a year (roughly 2x a month). Given the current health precautions associated with COVID-19, we are exploring options for in-person, virtual, and a hybrid programming for the fall. Currently all Shule classes are meeting virtually. We are working hard to adapt to changing times, and provide engaging project-based programming while following health guidelines.
Are you wondering if the Shule is right for your family and your schedule? We would be happy to answer all of your questions! Contact Education Director Meira Soloff - meira@circleboston.org.
