Intergenerational Learning

At Haverim Beyachad, we strive to live out what our name means-Friends Together. We encourage all parents to participate fully in the school's planning and decision making. We strongly emphasize the importance of family learning. Every month, the entire school community gathers together with family, friends, and members of the congregation for an Intergenerational opening. These openings allow the whole community to learn together.

During the rest of the month, our younger grades begin every school session with an opening that includes their parents. Older students devote additional time each week to Hebrew and prayer study, but continue to learn with their families through classroom family education sessions. Classes often join together for enhanced learning experiences, including school outings for learning, social events and tikkun olam.

We also offer intergenerational learning events. On these days our regular schedules are suspended and we invite the entire CBH community to join us in a Family Education style learning opportunity. Themes are chosen for the event and guest speakers and presenters are asked to participate. Past themes include celebrating Shabbat in the home, Gay and Lesbian Celebration Day, Israel Day, and more.
