JLC Tefillah Curriculum
September 2006 5767

For Parents:

--Lessons below will be followed biweekly after the first few weeks of school.

This is an outline of lessons given to teachers to prepare and present.

--When talking with your children, remember, there is no single correct view for many questions that arise.

--Parents—and teachers—don't need to have all the answers. As Jews we struggle with God, and can change our minds and grow.

--Let your teachers know any questions or challenges. We will be glad to address them or pass them on to one of the Rabbis.

--These lessons will be adapted for appropriate age levels, from Bet to Zayin.

--This is year two of a planned three-year cycle.
