Tutoring and Supplemental Tutoring
TUTORING PROGRAM
Post Bar/Bat Mitzvah students can remain active in the synagogue,
maintain their synagogue skills, serve as role models to their younger
counterparts and earn a substantial sum of money by participating in
either one or both tutoring programs described below:

Program 1: Prepare Bar/Bat Mitzvah students for their B’nai/B’not Mitzvah
Requirements: Tutor must know how to conduct Friday night service, the

All tutors and teacher aides will be required to:
1)        Assist during the High Holydays for either Junior Congregation or

SERVICES
Evening services are a regular part of the curriculum and all students will
be required to attend at the end of class on Sunday, Monday and
Wednesday.  The Rabbi asks that parents join their children rather than sit
in their cars in the parking lot for the following reasons:
4)        The students behave better when sitting with adults.  
3)        It gives the children a sense that service attendance is not just a
“kid’s thing” but a mitzvah or obligation that lasts throughout their lives.  
2)        Weekly announcements are frequently made at the end of
services.   
1)        And the Number One reason for attending services with your child
is - you just might learn something new.

SUPPLEMENTAL TUTORING
Students who are new to the Hebrew School and/or those with special
needs will be provided with a tutor during class.  Parents should contact
Karen Walsh to go over their child’s needs to map out a course of study
and to set goals.

SPECIAL NEEDS FACILITATOR
The FJCC offers an Individual Learning Plan for Hebrew Reading for
students who are classified in public school.  This is separate from any
supplemental tutoring program.  Staff will be on site several times each
month to work with students to assist with reading readiness and Hebrew
proficiency.  In addition to creating a Learning Plan for students, the
Special Needs Facilitator will work with several tutors who will put the
Learning Plan into practice in between her scheduled visits.  Parents
should contact Karen Walsh for more details.
