At Kingston Cheder we aim to cover the following themes in our syllabus to provide a broad Jewish education and offer opportunities for a Jewish social life:

• A strong sense of Jewish identity appreciating its values, building a sense of community and belonging
• Fluency in Hebrew reading and progress in writing using the Alef Champ books
• Understanding Jewish festivals and holidays and their significance and associated practices
• Building lasting friendships and having fun with other children in the Kingston and Sutton communities.
• We offer a GCSE course in Religious Education

Kingston Cheder runs from 9.30am – 12.30pm every Sunday during termtime.  Please contact gill.varon@sky.com for more information.

Sunday mornings include 3 core elements:

• An enjoyable assembly for all students
• Tailored Hebrew reading and writing – we use Aleph Champ reading books and workbooks and the Children’s Siddur and all children are taught in small groups and get to do reading individually.
• Learning about Jewish identity and values

We add in special activities each half term such as baking or arts and crafts. We sing a selection of Hebrew songs and English songs and we practice performing readings so that the children can make presentations in Shull or at events to focus on occasions such as Remembrance and HMD.

Weekly topics include learning about forthcoming festivals, world Jewish communities, customs and Jewish history.

Give your children a strong Jewish background
