The word kikar means square, circle, and gathering place. That’s our goal: squaring the circle of Jewish teen education through gathering teens for experiential education. We welcome teens in the 8th, 9th, and 10th grades (and higher).
This year’s theme is Zion. The calendar for Kikar is, like its content, wide-ranging. You can download the calendar for 5785 here.
After seeing the rampant ignorance about Jewish history vis-à-vis Israel, Rav Shai Cherry decided that Kikar will focus on this next year. Hence: Kikar Zion! You’ll see that in addition to the standard seminars, we’ll have two tiyulim (fieldtrips), two Shabbat lunch ‘n learns with the presidents of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State and the Zionist Rabbinic Coalition, four movies at shul—and parents are welcome to attend those extras.
Gratz College has approved this class for college credit! For those of you in 9th, 10th, and 11th grades hoping to receive college credit, your attendance is expected as it would be in any other class. In addition to the syllabus linked to above. Seminars at Rav Shai Cherry’s home will involve text study of various aspects of Israeli history and Jewish texts.
Adventures begin October 7!
This education is open to the community!
Even though our academic year has started, there is still plenty to experience! You can register here. Don't hesitate to contact Rav Shai at ravshai@adathjeshurun.info or 215.635.6611 for more information.
