What You Are Registering For:
The UHS goal is to prepare youngsters for a lifetime of meaningful participation in Jewish rituals. To that end, we do not limit learning to rote recitations, but we teach the ideas within the prayers and a vocabulary of Jewish values and some of the frequently recurring prayer words.
Parents should be aware that there will be homework. Sometimes the homework will involve parents as the student is asked to explore family history, ideals, traditions, and memories to help bring to life the ideas in liturgy. No one can learn the meaning of prayers without learning the meaning of words. Students will have word lists and exercises for which they need to recognize what those words mean.
To make Judaism and its rituals meaningful students benefit from putting to use their new knowledge during Shabbat evenings at home and during relatively frequent participation in synagogue services. To the extent that parents provide the child with those opportunities, the child will benefit.
