Shul Plans New Shabbat Summer Program

Our shul will host a new summer program called “Joyfully Jewish,” for children ages 5 to 10, to be held on four Shabbat mornings, from 9:30 to noon. The dates are July 8, July 22, August 5, and August 19.

Dawn Teyuca, an early childhood educational professional, will lead the program, which will focus on experiences that prepare children to become active participants in Jewish life. Over time, the curriculum may include blessings and prayers, the celebration of Jewish holidays and observances, stories from the Torah, an introduction to the Hebrew language, and an understanding of Israel as the Jewish homeland. Rabbi Gadi Capela, spiritual leader of the Greenport congregation, will encourage the children to participate in the Torah Service held in the sanctuary of the synagogue on Shabbat mornings.

Parents enrolling their children in the program will pay $100 for the four sessions, “a small fee in return for giant rewards,” said Ann Hurwitz, coordinator of the program, who noted that discounts are offered to families enrolling more than one child.

For more information, and to enroll children in the program, please call Ann Hurwitz at

Shalom!
