A Day at JKG Afternoon Community

While every day at JKG brings new adventures and specifics
vary by location, all days include the following elements:

Monday-Thursday 

  • Blessings (Brachot): Students learn the Hebrew blessings for all of the different food groups.

  • Hebrew Time (Ivrit): You won’t see JKG teachers standing in front of a chalkboard! Our interactive and experiential lessons inspire students to learn Hebrew through sports, art, and games. 

  • Community Time (Z’man Kehilah): Each day we come together to sing Jewish songs, learn about our weekly Jewish theme, and learn our Hebrew Word of the Week.

  • Jewish Activity Time (Peulot): Students learn about Jewish culture, holidays, values, history, and traditions through art, cooking, sports, gardening, drama, and other fun activities. 

Friday - It’s Shabbat!

  • Shabbat Celebration (Shabbat Z'man Kehilah): Everyone comes together to say the blessing over candles, grape juice, and challah. Yum!

  • Blessings (Brachot): Students learn the Hebrew blessings for all of the different food groups.

  • Shabbat Activity Time (Peulot): Our Friday activities focus on Jewish values and Shabbat learning. We may decorate cards for sick children, pack hygiene kits for the homeless, or tend to the garden – all of which are connected to different Jewish values and/or Shabbat. Sometimes we even make challah!

Space in the afternoon program is limited and fills on a first-come, first-served basis. Don’t miss out! Please contact us with any questions.
