Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy Enrichment Studies
The Community Kollel works to excite and engage the middle and upper school students in their pursuit for Jewish knowledge and practice. We give both formal class presentations as well as work one on one with individual students who desire a more intense focus of study. We offer extra curricular education enrichment, directly after school and on weekends. We assist in developing Torah messages for the school newspaper, work with student council members to impress upon their boards the importance and relevance of Jewish teachings and facilitate lunch time discussion groups. We offer biweekly presentations during “mentoring hours,” regarding the depth and beauty of our heritage. Finally, we attend and contribute to the morning and afternoon services.
Hebrew/Synagogue Schools, Youth Group and KU Students Current Issue Presentations
In a four week series, the Community Kollel leads a discussion group with Jewish teenagers, combining both Power Point presentations with authentic text-based study material.
Kollel Institute and Adult Jewish Learning Supplements
Class offerings for adults, ranging from basic Jewish philosophy to advanced mysticism.
Family Centered Learning Initiative (Judaism without Walls)
Uniting the family to build an open and supportive Jewish home, based on Torah messages and teachings.
Ahoovim -- Judaism for Adults with Special Needs
Ahoovim is a monthly group that meets to promote a) social togetherness and b) educational activities within the Jewish Special Needs population of Kansas City. It is designed to engage those in our community who have otherwise not yet found a point of re-entry and offers them the opportunity to reconnect to our traditions, to their Jewish friends and to the beauty and warmth of our community has to offer. by combining social and educational components, we assist many in their ability to connect to each other, our heritage and our Jewish passions.
