KoREH News

What’s a chug? A chug (pronounced “huug”) is an elective that KoREH students choose to take for a semester. Although the offerings of the chug vary – cooking, art, team challenges, makerspace, just to name a few – they all provide a meaningful connection to Judaism and Jewish values in some way. For example, right now, a group of students are learning how to crochet. Their newly learned skill is used to create a kippa for themselves and then they will apply the same technique to make a sleeping mat out of recycled grocery bags, which will be donated for someone in need. 

 

Remember: KoREH is not just a time for the kids to learn. Our Parent Learning Series provides speakers from the St. Louis community to come and share their experience, wisdom and insight on a range of topics aimed for parents and caregivers of kids. All sessions begin at 9:20 and last about an hour. March 10th: Dr. Mara Benjamin, the scholar in residence, investigates the religious dimension of caring for children within the context of Jewish thought and tradition. April 21st: Rabbi Micah Buck-Yael, Keshet’s Director of Education and Training will discuss ways in which you can be a supportive parent as your child(ren) explore their gender identity.
