Beit Midrash Hagigah

2^nd-5^th Grades

Hagigah: Beth Am's Children's Theater Beit Midrash Program

No Experience is Necessary to Have a Great Time in Our Program!

Is your child a natural born actor? Does your 2^nd-5^th grader love to move? Consider signing him or her up for Hagigah instead of Shabbaton or Sunday Program!  Through the production of a fall play and a spring musical, participants learn about our education theme for the year, Tzedek, tzedek tirdof.

Hagigah ("Celebration") is Beth Am’s Children’s Theatre Program; it is an alternative to Shabbaton or Sunday Program. The program will meet on Wednesdays from 4-6 p.m. Participants in grades 3-5 also attend mid-week class on Thursdays from 4-6 p.m. for Hebrew studies. Hagigah includes a worship service attendance requirement.  

NOTE: Hagigah will be offered only if there is sufficient enrollment.  

If you have any questions please call the Education Office at 650/493-4665.
