Grade 7 students participate in all three of the following components
throughout the 7th grade year, regardless of when a student becomes Bar/Bat
Mitzvah.
- Mitzvah Corps
- Weekday Torah
- 3 Family Education Programs
MITZVAH CORPS
Mitzvah Corps is the community service portion of the 7th grade curriculum.
Activities usually take place on Sundays. Each student is required to commit
to one Mitzvah Major which spans several months, and five Mitzvah Minors
selected from a variety of one-time opportunities.
WEEKDAY TORAH
Weekday Torah for grade 7 consists of two courses. In the first course,
students examine the specific mitzvot they are performing in Mitzvah Corps
through ancient texts and their modern implications. In course two, students
learn to read and explore the meaning of additional parts of our liturgy:
the Avot Ve'imahot, Aleinu, and Kaddish.
