Jewish Education at TBA doesn’t end with a B’Mitzvah ceremony and a party.  Learning is a life long endeavor and we continue our teen program with Tichon Bet Avraham for our 8th through 10th graders.

Our 8th graders explore their heritage, their coming to America stories and the similar stories of Jewish immigrants from the relatively recent past.

Our 9th graders fill in some of the gaps in their knowledge of Jewish history from the end of the Torah to the present time through in class research, learning from each other, and topic-driven discussions.

Our 10th grade Confirmation students explore topics of relevance with Rabbi Bloom that they were too young to explore in religious school, including Jewish learning on abortion, incest, and gender identity, among others.

Students in these grades will be contacted with the dates of the classes.  Sessions meet on Wednesday evenings and include pizza dinner.  All conclude in time for our teens to attend the weekly Wednesday night BBYO meetings.

Registration will open after the High Holy Days – stay tuned and watch for announcement. You do not need to be a member of TBA to join any of these classes* or our BBYO boys or girls chapters.
