Temple Beth Tikvah is pleased to announce that the Lorraine & Jack N. Friedman Commission for Jewish Education’s JN Somer’s YAD Hebrew School for Children with Special Needs will be located at the synagogue, located at 4550 Jog Road in Greenacres, for the upcoming 2014-15 school year.
The YAD Hebrew School is made possible by the J. N. Somers Children’s fund, the Lorraine & Jack N. Friedman Commission for Jewish Education and the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County.
YAD is a program designed to provide children with special needs the opportunity to learn important Jewish rites of passage in a formal religious school environment. Wilma Turk, director of special needs education for the Friedman CJE, and Orly Jacobs, director of Temple Beth Tikvah’s religious school, are excited about this new collaboration.
“I am looking forward to working together and sharing some programs bringing students from both schools together for some interactive activities,” Jacobs said.
For more information about the program, contact Turk at (561) 983-7711 or w.turk@cjepb.org or Jacobs at (561) 967-3600, ext 115, or ojacobs58@gmail.com.
