BRIDGE FAMILY RELIGION SCHOOL
Bridge Family Religion School By Stacey Delcau, RJE
Connection. Community. Belonging. The moment every child steps into our building they automatically have something in common: being Jewish. The next step is our responsibility. Our job is to make sure they find additional things in common; whether it is an interest in sports, acting, music, video games, or favorite foods. Community building focused on facilitating these relationships is at the top of our priority list. We are so excited to have everyone back in person in our buildings for this coming school year. We are most excited about our 8th grade and high school programming. We are piloting a new program in 8th grade called JCAT- the Jewish Court of All Time sponsored by the Jewish Theological Seminary and the University of Michigan. Students assume roles of historical and contemporary figures, delve into a court case based in Jewish history, explore its current impact, and debate issues in the voices of these characters.
“We are piloting a new program in 8th grade called JCAT - the Jewish Court of All Time sponsored by the Jewish Theological Seminary and the University of Michigan.” We are so grateful to Bobbi Bridge for continuing to support the professional development of our teachers. Our teachers are the cornerstone of our program and the stronger their knowledge in areas such as Judaic studies, Hebrew, and classroom skills the stronger our program. This grant affords us the opportunity to pay for our teachers to learn and for their time. Valuing our teachers is a top priority. Contact the Education Team with any questions!
