mesorah tree & backgroundBMH-BJ is excited to introduce our new religious school – The Mesorah Learning Center (MLC), directed by Rebecca Lobel. Classes will start on Sunday,  August 28. Mesorah means tradition. Our goal is to impart to our children traditional values, synagogue and Jewish cultural literacy and an excellent foundation in Hebrew.
Rebecca is already working to create an inclusive program that will immerse MLC students in a rich curriculum and exciting environment, with excellent, qualified teachers. The curriculum for the program will include experiential learning through song and dance, an online learning component to practice Hebrew during the week, and immersion in learning about Jewish history, culture, prayer and holidays.
