Register Now for "Libeynu" לִבֵּנוּ 2025-2026 Youth After-School Jewish Education Program

Libeynu ("Our Hearts") is our Jewish after-school program for students in Grades K through 5 on Tuesday afternoons from 3:30-5:45 PM at Reyim. (The phrase teyn b'libeynu is a Hebrew prayer to place in our hearts the ability and desire to learn, listen and teach.) Libeynu will be led by Hebrew College rabbinical student Aviva Herr-Welber, who will be Reyim's rabbinic intern, together with Rabbi Berman. The program starts Tuesday September 9, 2025 and will meet each Tuesday afternoon through the school year, synched with the Jewish and the Newton public school calendars. The cost for the Tuesday afternoon program is $800 per student for Reyim members, with a 10% sibling discount. There is also a $50 discount per student for families who register before May 31. Tuition scholarships are available for any families who need support. Please register here and be in touch with Rabbi Berman with any questions or to learn more. More informatiom coming soon!
