Registration: Beit Sefer Phyllis Mintzer

Registration for 2022-2023 is now open.

Beit Sefer Phyllis Mintzer will be in-person only this year.  We will continue to follow COVID safety precautions according to SF Dept of Public Health recommendations.  We will move to Zoom learning if/when we are required by health & safety concerns.

We meet on Saturday mornings from 9am until Noon. Our schedule is as follows:

9:00-9:10 Gathering Time
9:10-9:30 Opening Circle
9:30-10:30 Learning Hour One
10:30-10:45 Recess & Snack
10:45-11:45 Learning Hour Two
11:45-Noon Closing Circle

 

Beit Sefer begins on Saturday, September 10, 2021.  Our calendar includes almost monthly family learning days.  We will hold classes parallel to students’ b’mitzvah celebrations; our 6/7 grade class will attend services with their classmates on those dates.

One-to-One Hebrew Tutoring is for students in grades 5-7.  Tutoring sessions are once/week for 45 minutes.  Sessions are scheduled according to student and tutor availability.  They may take place on-line or in-person based on family preference and tutor availability.  Hebrew tutoring begins the week of September 5.

Please register by Friday, August 19

Please complete the registration form  for your children and the student intake form for each child.

On-time registration supports a smooth start to the year for individuals and the community.  And new students are welcome anytime throughout the school year.

Questions or ideas?

If you have questions about the content or format of the program, want to meet about your child, or would love to “test drive” Beit Sefer in the fall before committing, please be in contact with Director of Education Liz Jaroslow today.
