Family Education

Through our Family Education program, we work with families to provide deeper understandings and new perspectives on Jewish values and traditions.

Family Education serves as a resource to support families through their children’s Jewish experiences at Rashi. Throughout the year the Rashi School provides:

  • Grade level programs for parents and students that are an extension of the classroom Jewish Studies curriculum
  • Grade level parent education programs that provide opportunities for parents to explore, at an adult level, the Jewish Studies curriculum being taught in their child’s classroom
  • "The Jewish Family Times" resource packets
  • Grade level programs that enable families to understand and participate in Tikkun Olam – our mandate to repair the world
