The Frankel Religious School (FRS)

The Frankel Religious School

This program is for preschool (beginning at age three and potty trained) through seventh grade students. Students attend either once a week (preschool through second graders) or twice a week (third-seventh graders), with both in-person and zoom options available for the week day program.

Millstone

This program is a National Honors Program for post B’nai Mitzvah 7th and 8th graders to study the foundational ideas, great leaders, and key texts of Jewish civilization. This class meets weekly at HNT during the school year. To learn more about this program and to register, please visit: Millstone Scholars – Tikvah.

Jewish Learning Experience (JLE)

JLE is a class for 9th-12th grade students, which delivers undergraduate-level classes, allowing students to earn college credits through American Jewish University. This year, we will be offering a course called “Introduction to the History, Culture, and People of Israel.” This course meets every other week during the school year, with some assigned homework between classes. To learn more about this program, please visit: Jewish Learning Experience | American Jewish University.

Madrichim Program

Teens have the opportunity to work in the Frankel Religious School as Teaching Assistants. Students may volunteer until they are 16, when they begin having the option to be paid for their work. Teens also participate in a monthly leadership class.

Shabbat Programs

We also offer several Shabbat programs for children, youth, and families:

Shabbat K’tan

Meets monthly, geared for those 5 and under with their adults. Come for a warm Shabbat morning mini-service for littles, led by parent volunteers, and stay for Kiddush. We will have a joy-filled Saturday morning with singing, stories, and games. Afterwards, parents are invited to stay and join the congregation for Kiddush lunch.

For more information about Shabbat K’tan/Mini-Minyan or to get on our mailing list, please contact Madeline Antolin, School and Programs Coordinator at Madeline@h-nt.org.

Mini-Minyan

Meets monthly. Geared for kids in Kindergarten – Fourth Grade. Come join us for a warm Shabbat morning mini service for early elementary school students, led by parent volunteers, and stay for Kiddush.

TorahCorps

This Torah reading initiative encourages our teens to become active Torah readers, who will be mentored by HNT torah readers. They read Torah and lead parts of services once a month during the school year.

Parent Committee

Finally, we have an active Parent Committee that helps support these programs. We’d love for you to be involved!
