Parents whose children are signed up for Shabbat B;Yachad are always
invited to participate from 9:15am-12:15pm. Parents and children are always
together from 9:15am-10:30am (although parents grades 1-6 are not required
to stay if there is no family program).
On days when it says
"Grade X-X Family Program," parents of children in Shabbat B'Yachad in
those grades will have a special family education program where parents
and children learn together. On "regular" days, the parents will have
optional adult education classes from 10:30am-12:15pm.
On days when
it says "All Grade X Families" there is a family education program to
which all families of children in that grade, whether they attend
Shabbat B;Yachad or Ruach B'Yachad, are invited to attend.
Children should not attend grade family programs without at least one parent or adult family member with them.
Sunday Mishpacha programs are for all families in the congregation.

A
new school year at CBE sees the start of
a major overhaul of educational programming under the direction of Rabbi Shira
Koch Epstein. In a message to parents, Rabbi Epstein wrote, “Rather
than being called ‘Religious School’or ‘Hebrew School,’ neither of which
encompasses the greater goals of this program, our educational program will now
be called Yachad (Together)."
