Ruach B’Yachad is a component of the Yachad
curriculum where students learn through engagement with art, physical movement,
text study, and cultural activities. All students in our program engage in
Ruach programming on Monday afternoons or on Shabbat morning. In K-3rd grade, this program is
integrated into Jewish studies classes.
In 4th-6th grade, students choose elective classes
in a given medium. Worship and social action are also an integral part of our
Ruach program on Monday afternoons and on Shabbat morning.
At Ruach B’Yachad students are also encouraged to
explore their Jewish identity through a wide array of informal experiences. The
program encourages the exploration of Jewish tradition, texts, and Jewish
identity in a fun, unique and interactive environment. Ruach B’Yachad seeks to stimulate
imagination, personal growth and creativity in a context and structure that is
conducive to our participants learning, playing, and growing as people and as
Jews.
Program goals:
1. To
create strong relationships to Jewish text, tradition, community and
identity through creative self expression and/or physical experience.
