An open house and information session will be held on September 22, the first day of classes for the 2013-14 Generation J school year, beginning with a buffet breakfast at 9am.

Parents and parents of prospective students are invited to meet with Rabbi Sklarz and 2013-2014 Educational Director, Eliana Hall, to discuss our exciting new program! To register, or for questions, please call 203-629-0018 or email Eliana Hall at eliana@grs.org.

Students gather on Sunday mornings, with an additional midweek meeting for supplemental Hebrew instruction. Instead of the traditional classroom model, Generation J offers experiential learning with a thematic approach based on Jewish values, including:

• Active, project-based learning
• A collaborative and social environment
• The exploration of Jewish ethics
• Individualized, flexible Hebrew instruction
• Judaic and Hebrew instruction prepares children for a meaningful B'nai Mitzvah.
• Teens cooperatively prepare a beautiful Shavuot Confirmation service.

Flexible Hebrew Instruction: Private Hebrew instruction is offered on the weekday afternoon of your choice. Students in grades 4-7 (optional for third graders) come to the GRS office for 30 minutes of individual instruction with a Hebrew specialist.  Utilizing the acclaimed Mitkadem program, created by the URJ (Union for Reform Judaism), each child receives personally tailored instruction. Students prepare for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah by learning Hebrew reading and prayer, as well as theological concepts, vocabulary, and grammar.

Free to member families for kindergarten through 3^rd grade.   Ask about special reduced cost membership for young families.
