We are pleased to announce our newly named religious school in partnership with Temple Beth Am of Randolph as of September 2012. The new school is named B'Yachad South Area Religious School. The word "B'Yachad" means "together", which we find symoblic of the merging and collaboration of the two synagogues' religious schools, staff, and curriculum. Registration is now open for the new school's September 2012 session. 

According to Sue Rosman, the Education Director of B'Yachad South Area Religious School, "I am looking forward to partnering with Temple Beth Am's religious school. I have been in close contact with Debbie Gladstone, the Education Director, and together we are merging the best elements of our schools to create B'Yachad South Area Religious School. I am proud and excited to be a part of the birth of a new school that embraces its history while envisioning new directions in Jewish education and Jewish identity." 

B'Yachad South Area Religious School offers a two day per week schedule and caters to preschool age to grade 7. Classes meet on Sundays from 9 am-12 noon, and Wednesdays from 3:45-5:45 pm. Jewish history, customs, culture, prayer, holidays, and the Hebrew language are emphasized in interactive classes, which will be held at Ahavath Torah Congregation, 1179 Central Street, Stoughton, from Sunday, Sept. 9, 2012 through Dec. 19, 2012. The school year will continue on Jan. 2, 2013 and run through May 22, 2013 at Temple Beth Am, 871 North Main Street, in Randolph. For more information on B'Yachad South Area Religious School, contact Sue Rosman, Education Director, at 781-344-8755, or via e-mail at suerosman@verizon.net.
