MINCHA Nightly Schedule

LEARNING BLOCK 1
4:30-5:00 - Exploring spirituality & prayer
Youth Minyan - The Youth Minyan is a collaborative effort with our SHACHRIT Hebrew prograam.  Each week MINCHA participants will have the option to attend a short creative prayer experience run by teens and a professional songleader.  Those who go to the minyan will gain valuable prayer practice, enjoy a break from the chaos of the day and benefit from time to reflect.  
B'nai Mitzvah Boot Camp - Cantor Halpern will meet with participants who need additional support in advance of their B'nai Mitzvah.  
Podcast HaSHavuah ("podcast of the week") - Staff member Jocelyn Gordon will select an interested (brief) podcast every week that attendees will listen to and then reflect upon as a group.  

LEARNING BLOCK 2
5:15-6:00 - Learning about Jewish text, history, ritual, & tradition.
During this block teens will be divided into four groups by grade and identified gender.  Learning will happen in a 4-week rotation plan around a central Jewish theme.  Learning will be lead by clergy and education staff.
