Welcome to Kulanu at the Orangetown Jewish Center, for students in Kindergarten through 7th grade.
Kulanu (which means “all of us” in Hebrew) is an after-school program where our children develop their Jewish knowledge, their sense of connection to community and tradition, and their personal identities.
We specialize in experiential, project-based learning, building the foundations and skills for each child to grow into an engaged, empowered Jewish young adult.
Our curriculum includes Torah study, Hebrew language, prayer literacy, holidays and home ritual, music, history and culture, and more. Kulanu is an inclusive program, and we are committed to meeting the needs of each individual student and family.
For more information, please contact Rabbi Shoyer.
We are so excited to learn with you!
