Kitah Dalet Update

Hi, and welcome to Kitah Dalet.  I am Barbara J Dworin, and I am honored to be your child’s Religious School teacher.  I am passionate about Jewish living, and I am excited to share this love with you and your family.  I have been planning all summer long, and I know your children will have a great time discovering how unique and special they are as we explore our theme of the year, Created in God’s Image. 

My classroom objective is to provide a fun, safe, stimulating, and creative learning environment which will build a strong Jewish foundation and encourage students to be informed, knowledgeable and educated Jews able to take personal responsibility for living a Jewish life in a non-Jewish world.  I plan to do this through teaching integrated lessons on Torah, Jewish law, ethics and values, exploring our history, celebrating the holidays and life cycle events, and praying together as a community.  This thematic approach encourages each student to recognize that being Jewish affects everything we do and helps to build a meaningful connection to our commitment to Israel and the Jewish community.  My expectation is our time together will serve as the basis for building lifelong connections in the community long after students have finished their religious school education. 

This year, I look forward to building a strong, safe, and successful learning community while developing personal relationships with you and your children.   I invite you to visit our classroom whenever you are available, and encourage you to stop in and introduce yourself.   

Best Wishes for a new year filled with health, happiness, and peace, Barbara
